Marchand is still recovering from an upper body injury so his return to the ice is still up in the air. He won't play when the Panthers battle the Bruins Tuesday but is traveling with the team back home to Boston just days after getting traded away.

Brad Marchand’s hockey afterlife officially began Tuesday morning on Causeway Street, where he returned to the ice for the first time in more than a week, and for the first as an ex-Bruin.
