Brad Marchand is officially on a heater.
After scoring the game-winning goal in overtime on Saturday against the Maple Leafs, the Bruins captain recorded a natural hat trick in the third period of Sunday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets — lifting Boston to a 3-1 win.
Marchand, who went scoreless over a five-game stretch from Nov. 22 to Nov. 30, has now scored four goals in his last two games.
After the Patriots were blanked in a 6-0 shutout against the Chargers on Sunday afternoon, that same offensive ineptitude appeared to follow the Bruins to TD Garden.
