With a gain of 25 points (13+12), the 32-year-old right wing forward was the second best behind teammate Jack Eichel, who dominated this year’s NHL playoff scoring with a balance of 26 entries (6+20). Among the scorers, Marchessault reached the shared first position, when Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl also hit 13 times.
In the final against the Panthers, he produced a great eight points (4+4) from five starts and ended the season with a ten-game point streak overall. Marchessault ranks among the six players who have worked at the club since its inception in 2017/18. In the expansion draft, the Golden Knights selected him from this year’s final opponent Florida.
