Following the game, Brad Marchand was asked about the hit that lead to the first fight of the game on David Pastrnak, and Marchand went on to say that it was a "greasy hit from behind", and that with Pastrnak being the Bruins best player, teams are going to target him.
Marchand was not a fan of it to say the least, but the Bruins allowed the Florida Panthers to get into their heads, and ultimately it costed them the game in their second meeting in just four games.
