When Brad Marchand walks into the TD Garden on Tuesday night, he'll be doing so through different doors and heading to a different locker room. It is a walk that he probably never thought he would make, ever, entering the TD Garden.
He'll be making that walk as a member of the Florida Panthers and a defending Stanley Cup champion after being traded there at the deadline in March. He enjoyed it so much that he re-signed over the summer.
Tuesday night will mark his first game back at the TD Garden as a player since the trade.
