So far this season, Marchand has been the Bruins leading scorer with 26 points (15 goals and 11 assists in 34 games). Needless to say, Montreal fans have to be pretty happy with how the New Year’s Day event started for their team.
Later in his life, Rogers was chairman of Wayne M. Rogers & Co., an investment strategy firm; chief executive of the convenience store chain Stop-N-Save; and chairman of Kleinfeld Bridal, one of the world’s largest wedding dress vendors. He departed following a contractual dispute.

The game started off fast as David Desharnais got a quick goal past Tuukka Rast off of a face off 1:14 into the first period. Eyewitness News spoke with several fans who said they are rooting for the Bruins during the big game on New Year’s Day.
Rogers left the Korean War-set, medical comedy M*A*S*H in 1975 after three years reportedly because he felt his Trapper John army-doctor character was playing second fiddle to Alan Alda’s more popular Hawkeye.
Rogers was born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1933. He gained a history degree and served for a brief spell in the U.S. Navy, before moving into acting.
After leaving M*A*S*H*, he continued to guest-star on television, including in the Larry Hagman role in the TV movie I Dream of Jeannie…
In the early days of his acting career, Rogers appeared in numerous TV westerns, as well as small roles in movies such as Cool Hand Luke and The Glory Guys.
Rogers was also a regular expert contributor for the Fox News Channel’s business shows.
