BOSTON (AP) — David Pastrnak had one goal and assisted on Pavel Zacha’s winner as the Boston Bruins scored three times in the third period to overcome a two-goal deficit and beat the Florida Panthers 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Four days after Bruins captain Brad Marchand was traded to the Panthers, his old team beat his new one and sent the defending Stanley Cup champions to their first loss in seven games. Boston, which had lost eight of nine heading into the trade deadline, has since won back-to-back games against likely playoff teams from Florida.
Marchand didn’t play while he recovers from an unspecified upper-body injury that knocked him out of Boston’s March 1 game in Pittsburgh.
