A midperiod tribute at TD Garden left the former Bruins captain in tears.

Overview

  • Florida edged Boston 4-3, scoring the winner with 26 seconds remaining at TD Garden.
  • Marchand posted two assists, setting up Mackie Samoskevich’s early power-play goal and Eetu Luostarinen’s third-period tally.
  • The Bruins rallied with three goals in the third period to pull even before conceding late.
  • Defensive lapses proved costly for Boston, with Mason Lohrei errors preceding two Panthers goals and the deciding puck deflecting in off Andrew Peeke’s skate.
