Marc McLaughlin's story
Born July 26, 1999, Marc McLaughlin arrived at Boston College in the fall of 2018 and spent his collegiate years developing into a defensively reliable centre. His freshman season came during a low point for the program, but those early struggles helped shape the player who would later be relied upon more for structure and leadership than lightning-quick scoring.
McLaughlin's upward trajectory at Boston College was gradual. Offense was not his calling card at first, yet coaches entrusted him with greater responsibility; he served as team captain in both his junior and senior seasons. When the pandemic disrupted college hockey, he emerged as a steadying presence—finishing second on the team in scoring as a junior and helping the Eagles reach the NCAA Tournament.
Turning pro, McLaughlin signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins on March 15, 2022. He made his NHL debut on March 31, 2022, and scored his first NHL goal in an 8–1 win over the New Jersey Devils. The next seasons alternated between the NHL club and its AHL affiliate in Providence: assignments to Providence, call-ups in January 2023 and March 2024, and a one-year, two-way extension signed on July 11, 2023. During a brief March 2024 recall he scored the lone goal for Boston in a 5–1 loss to the New York Islanders.
On March 7, 2025, McLaughlin was traded to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Daniil Misyul. He spent most of the remainder of that season with the Utica Comets, recording six assists in 16 games, and made two short appearances with the Devils, including an assist against his former team, Boston. The following season he missed extended time with an upper-body injury but returned on February 15, 2026, with a goal and two assists against the Rochester Americans and scored in each of his first three games back.
McLaughlin is defined by positional discipline and a two-way approach at centre. He represented the United States at the 2022 Winter Olympics and continued his pro career with New Jersey by signing a one-year, two-way contract on July 2, 2026.
