Brad Marchand skated on the ice at TD Garden for the first time since he was traded from the Bruins to the Panthers. "It still felt weird," he said of the practice skate.

After suiting up 1,247 times (including playoffs) in Black and Gold, Marchand took his first twirls in his new colors — those of the Florida Panthers — and noted the “mourning” that comes with moving on from an organization that has been part of his life since the June 2006 draft.
