The goals were the latest in what has been a career season for Marchand who hit the 30-goal mark for the first time since entering the league full time back in 2010.
His 30 goals are now two more than his previous career high of 28 which he hit during the 2011-12 and 2014-15 seasons. Meanwhile, he now sits just 10 points shy of his career high of 55 points which he also hit during the 2011-12 campaign.
Despite his offensive breakout, Marchand appears to have stayed true to his roots, remaining a pest on the ice as Patrick Eaves learned Saturday.

Although commissioner Gary Bettman on Wednesday upheld Wideman's 20-game suspension for checking linesman Don Henderson, the NHLPA announced it would appeal to a neutral arbitrator.
Sunday will mark the 10th game of Wideman's suspension, but Sportsnet's Damien Cox reported during Saturday's "Headlines" segment that the Calgary Flames defenseman can be compensated for money lost if a neutral arbitrator reduces the suspension to 10 games or fewer.
"He can't get the games back, but he can get his money back," said Cox. "He's losing $28,226 per game so he would be reimbursed."
According to Cox, it is expected that the hearing with the neutral arbitrator will take place on either Wednesday or Thursday next week.

The Washington Capitals battled back from three separate one-goal deficits to beat the New Jersey Devils 4-3 on Saturday, and the game-winning goal came from an unlikely source.
Veteran defenseman Brooks Orpik's late third-period goal was just his fourth tally since 2012, and marked the first game-winner of his career in his 798th game. His teammates were clearly thrilled, as captain Alex Ovechkin jumped in the air after Orpik scored.
"It gives you confidence when you come back against - I think - statistically the best defensive team," Orpik said of the Devils, who have now lost three consecutive games against Metropolitan Division opponents.
Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and T.J. Oshie scored the team's other three goals. The Capitals will seek their ninth win in ten games against the Arizona Coyotes on Monday.

For the Flyers, it was a bounce-back effort with a better post-regulation fate after falling to the Montreal Canadiens in a shootout on Friday night.
