Tuesday night was a bittersweet moment for Boston Bruins fans. The team is looking to end their four game losing streak by getting a victory over the rival Florida Panthers. On the Panthers is former long-time winger and Stanley Cup champion Brad Marchand, who joined their rival via a trade by the Bruins. Marchand went on to win the Stanley Cup with the Panthers, and immediately signed a six-year contract extension to remain in Florida.
While the Panthers did visit Boston after the trade, Marchand wasn't active due to an injury. So on Tuesday was Marchand's first official return to Boston, the place he spent 16 years of his NHL career at.
