Marshall made his debut in the 1951-1952 season and spent his first decade with the Canadiens. He was selected for the All-Star team seven times and then played for the New York Rangers for the next seven seasons. In 1966-1967, he was named to the All-NHL second team. He also had brief stints with the Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
