Brad Marchand has played 1,152 NHL games and taken 1,153 penalty minutes. One a night, for sixteen years, rounded to the minute.
The club-by-club breakdown of it is in Brad Marchand’s penalty minutes against every NHL team. What follows is his full record against all 32 franchises he has faced, sorted ten ways, through the 2025-26 season. Games played are in every row.
Which team does Brad Marchand take the most penalties against?
Montreal by total, Nashville by rate.
| PIM per game | Total PIM | GP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nashville Predators | 1.79 | 43 | 24 |
| Dallas Stars | 1.62 | 39 | 24 |
| Tampa Bay Lightning | 1.52 | 82 | 54 |
| Career | 1.00 | 1,153 | 1,152 |
By raw total it is Montreal, at 83 penalty minutes in 59 games, with Tampa Bay one behind on 82 in 54. Tampa is the one built on both volume and rate, which makes it the most durable figure here.
For scale: Sidney Crosby’s career rate is 0.63 penalty minutes a game, Alex Ovechkin’s is 0.54 and Connor McDavid’s is 0.42. Marchand’s is roughly double Crosby’s and more than double McDavid’s.
Scale runs the other way too. Bob Probert’s penalty minutes against every NHL team puts him at 3,300 in 935 games, a rate of 3.53.
Which team does Brad Marchand behave himself against?
St. Louis, at 0.35 penalty minutes a game, barely a third of his career rate. Colorado is next at 0.50.
The Utah franchise has never taken a penalty minute off him in its Utah incarnation, though the Arizona years account for 16.
The paradox in the middle of the record
Marchand takes a penalty a game. He also has 36 career shorthanded goals, against 90 on the power play.
Only 20% of Marchand’s goals have come with the man advantage, against 30% for Crosby and 36% for Ovechkin. He is one of the most productive penalty-killers of his era and one of its most penalized forwards at the same time.
Pittsburgh has given up four of those shorthanded goals, more than anyone. Buffalo, Calgary and Florida have given up three each.
Which team does Brad Marchand score most against?
Los Angeles, at 0.72 goals per game, nearly double his career rate.

| Calgary Flames | 0.62 | 15 | 24 |
| Dallas Stars | 0.62 | 15 | 24 |
| Career | 0.39 | 451 | 1,152 |

Tampa Bay, with 7 game-winning goals of the 85 he has scored, from a club he has also taken 82 penalty minutes against.

Buffalo, 183 shots in 68 games, ahead of Toronto on 176 and Pittsburgh on 171. All three are long Eastern rivalries, and all three have watched him do it for most of two decades.
The two games against Boston
Marchand played sixteen seasons for the Bruins before the trade to Florida, and has faced them twice since. No goals, two assists, two penalty minutes, minus 2.
It is the smallest row in the table and the only one that is a biography rather than a statistic.
