Exciting Bruins vs Panthers Season Opener

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Brad Marchand is not one to hold a grudge. Does he remember the shot to the head he took from Florida’s Sam Bennett last spring that knocked him out of the Bruins’ second-round playoff series? You bet.

Is he going to let it consume him when the teams meet again to open the 2024-25 campaign on Tuesday night at Amerant Bank Arena? Sure doesn’t sound like it.

“It’s part of the game. He definitely got away with one when you see the replay and everything but that’s how it goes. I’m not holding any animosity… I’m gonna play just as hard as I always do,” Marchand said.

  • “At the end of the day, this is two points we’re out there to get... it doesn’t matter what you do, nothing changes the past.”
  • “We have the same goal this year, different opportunity.”
  • Marchand recognizes the intensity of the matchup, admitting, “I wouldn’t say it will be more special, it’s definitely gonna be more intense.”

“They’re definitely a great team again, one that we’re gonna have to go through to accomplish our goal,” he added.

Key Points on Team Preparedness

  1. Coach Jim Montgomery did not confirm whether Jeremy Swayman or Joonas Korpisalo would be the starting goaltender.
