Marc McLaughlin (born July 26, 1999) is an American professional ice hockey center for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He played NCAA hockey with the Boston College Eagles, where he was captain for his junior and senior seasons. He was a member of United States national team at the 2022 Winter Olympics. [1]
McLaughlin was a fairly unheralded player when he debuted for Boston College in the fall of 2018. As a freshman, he provided minimal offense for an underwhelming squad that finished the year with the program's first losing record in over 20 years. [2] While the team improved the following year greatly, McLaughlin's offense only saw modest improvements. Unfortunately, the Eagles' season ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Banking on his ability as a defensive forward, McLaughlin was named team captain entering his junior year. While the pandemic delayed the entire college hockey circuit, McLaughlin took charge when he finally hit the ice. He finished second on the team in scoring and helped BC return to the NCAA Tournament. As a senior, McLaughlin continued to lead offensively; however, Boston College had another subpar season and slipped down the Hockey East standings. Regardless of the team's performance, McLaughlin was still held in high regard and was named to the United States national team after the NHL announced that it would not be sending its players to the Winter Olympics, [3] McLaughlin went scoreless in two games while the team finished 5th out of 12 teams. [4]
After the conclusion of his senior year, McLaughlin signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins on March 15, 2022. [5] He made his NHL debut for the Bruins on March 31, 2022, scoring his first career goal in an 8–1 victory over the New Jersey Devils. [6]
Heading into his first full professional season, McLaughlin impressed in NHL camp, according to many. However, despite this, he was assigned to the Bruins AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. [7] Due to injuries to the NHL squad, McLaughlin was called up on January 23, 2023. [8] He was later reassigned on January 30. [9]
McLaughlin signed a one-year, two-way extension worth $775,000 with the Bruins on July 11, 2023. [10]
To start 2023–24, McLaughlin again started the season with Providence. McLaughlin would be called up to the NHL team on an emergency basis on March 1, 2024. [11] He would mainly serve as a healthy scratch during his brief time with Boston. However, in his lone game with the NHL squad, he would score the only goal in a 5-1 loss against the New York Islanders. He would be reassigned to Providence on March 8, 2024. [12]
