"After Morgan Geekie tied the game with 1:31 left with the goalie pulled, the Panthers got a fluky game-winner when Carter Verhaeghe hit the post and the long rebound went off Andrew Peeke's skate and into the net with 25.7 seconds left. That gave the Panthers an entertaining, emotion-packed and tad bizarre 4-3 victory over the Bruins in Marchand's first game back to the Garden."
"A growing sea of 63s roared when Marchand, per usual, was the last to leave the ice at the end of warmups. And he got a pops when he was introduced in Florida's starting lineup. The first shift was vintage Brad Marchand. In a matter of 33 seconds, he stole the puck once in the Boston zone, then a second time in the neutral zone after which he drew a tripping penalty on Tanner Jeannot."
Brad Marchand returned to Boston Garden to a cheering crowd and provided an immediate impact in the game. He created turnovers and earned a primary assist on a power-play goal. A tribute video drew visible emotion from Marchand during warmups. The Panthers built a two-goal lead, which the Bruins erased early in the third. Marchand helped Florida regain the lead on Eetu Luostarinen's goal. Morgan Geekie tied the game with the goalie pulled, and a puck off Andrew Peeke's skate after a Carter Verhaeghe post produced a fluky 4-3 winning goal with 25.7 seconds remaining.
