Marchand bloodied, scores twice in Bruins’ 7-3 win over Caps

WASHINGTON (AP) — Brad Marchand returned from a bloody nose in the first period to score two goals and assist on another, while center Patrice Bergeron saved one at the other end and the Boston Bruins routed the Washington Capitals 7-3 on Monday night.

After falling behind two goals early — both by Conor Sheary — the Bruins scored six in a row to hand the Capitals their fourth consecutive defeat, which is their longest losing streak this season.

Marchand started it all in the first period after taking a hard high stick.

Washington’s Nic Dowd hit Marchand on the bridge of his nose, requiring significant cleanup of blood on the ice and repairs to his nose on the bench.
