Brad Marchand’s first playoff run since leaving the Bruins isn’t over yet, but it’s already one for the ages.
The former Bruins star scored twice in the Panthers’ 5-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5 on Saturday, helping Florida take a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. Marchand’s two goals gave him six in the series, becoming the first player to score at least five goals with two different teams in a Stanley Cup Final. The first time he did that was in the Bruins’ Stanley Cup win over the Canucks in 2011.
The history Marchand made on Saturday didn’t end there.
