The Daily: Marner Similarities in Boston; Blackhawks Victory Lap

The Chicago Blackhawks were victorious against the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday night, thanks to a pair of Corey Perry goals and some crisp passing from Connor Bedard and Taylor Hall on the second tally.

Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand sees a lot of similarities of Mitch Marner in a young prospect.  Derek Stepan steps away from the game, announcing his retirement. Jonathan Drouin, in a subscriber exclusive, may very well be on his way to great things this season as a new addition with the Colorado Avalanche.
