“It’s kind of weird seeing him in Florida red, not Bruins black-and-gold,” Bergeron told NHL.com.

When Brad Marchand was traded from the Boston Bruins — with whom he had spent his entire NHL career — to the Florida Panthers on March 7, few could have predicted the veteran forward’s impact.

Marchand has been a thorn in the side of the Maple Leafs for years, but his playoff production could be just what Toronto needs.

Bergeron is hoping his friend can do it again 14 years later at 37, this time with the Panthers.

The Panthers blew out the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 to the tune of a lopsided 6-1 score.

The Panthers seized momentum with their Game 2 road win, and now return home for Game 3 having won 7 of their last 10 games.
