Florida Panthers Complete An Unexpected Move With Former Boston Bruins Captain Brad Marchand
Bruins fans are still having a hard time adjusting to seeing Brad Marchand playing with the Florida Panthers, and it may be a move that they hold a grudge on General Manager Don Sweeney forever.
It took Marchand awhile to make his debut with the Florida Panthers, considering he was injured when they traded for him, but during his first game with the team he made some history becoming the second player in the organizations history to setup a goal in overtime.
Heading into one of their last games of the year, the Panthers have made an unexpected move with the former Bruins captain.
Panthers Confirm Unexpected Move With Brad Marchand
Marchand has only appeared in nine games for the Panthers since the NHL trade deadline, and it's likely that he will not play another one following a recent announcement.
It was revealed this morning that Brad Marchand, along with three other players will not be playing tonight as they are being healthy scratched in preparation for the playoffs.
Florida Panthers scratching Marchand, Lundell, Luostarinen, and Kiersted tonight. They are working with Roberto Luongo on side ice.
With how little Marchand has played with the Panthers you would have expected him to play the remaining two games, but it looks like the Panthers want to rest him instead.
