How many penalty minutes does Brad Marchand have?

That is a career rate of 1.00 penalty minutes a game. For context inside his own era: Sidney Crosby is at 0.63, Alex Ovechkin at 0.54 and Connor McDavid at 0.42. Marchand takes roughly twice as many minutes as Crosby and more than twice as many as McDavid.

Is Brad Marchand one of the most penalized players in NHL history?

No, and it is not close. This is the part of the reputation the numbers do not support.

Compare him with the player this site has already broken down the same way. Bob Probert took 3,300 penalty minutes in 935 games, a rate of 3.53 a game. Marchand’s rate is 28% of Probert’s. At that rate, Probert needed about 330 games to accumulate what has taken Marchand 1,152.

How many goals does Brad Marchand have?

451, with 583 assists for 1,034 points, across 1,152 games for Boston and Florida.

He also has 36 career shorthanded goals, which is a total most penalty-killers never approach.

Which team does Brad Marchand take the most penalties against?

Montreal by total, at 83 penalty minutes in 59 games. Nashville by rate, at 1.79 a game from 24 meetings.

Tampa Bay is the row that satisfies both: 82 minutes in 54 games, a rate of 1.52, which is the highest figure on the table among clubs he has faced more than 50 times. Tampa Bay has also given up more of his game-winning goals than anybody.

Which team does Brad Marchand stay out of the box against?

St. Louis, at 8 penalty minutes in 23 games, a rate of 0.35. Colorado is next at 0.50, then Vegas at 0.57 and Chicago at 0.58.

There is no franchise he has never taken a penalty against. The closest thing to an absence on this record is the Utah row: 16 penalty minutes in 27 meetings, and none at all in the five games since the club took its current name.
