When a team has your number, they have your number. That was the case again for the Boston Bruins against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night at the TD Garden.
It was Brad Marchand's return to Boston for the first time as a player since the trade last March at the trade deadline that sent him to South Florida. There was an emotional tribute during the first TV timeout, but by then, Marchand had made his mark.
In the first 1:01 of the game, he drew a penalty and assisted on a Mackie Samoskevich power play goal.
