Tuesday night at the TD Garden, former Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand made his return as a member of the Florida Panthers for the first time as a player following last March's trade. Florida came to Boston after the deadline, but Marchand was still out injured.
Marchand picked up two assists in Florida's 4-3 win on a goal with 26 seconds left off a lucky bounce. It was the fifth straight loss for the Black and Gold, while the Panthers ended a four-game losing streak. Following the game and an emotional tribute during the first TV timeout, Marchand spoke with the media and discussed life after his playing days.
