Panthers star Brad Marchand returned from injury and scored the winning shootout goal to beat the Bruins.

SUNRISE — The Panthers got much-needed reinforcements from previously injured players, and those players helped Florida snap a four-game losing streak and pick up a crucial 5-4 shootout victory over Boston at Amerant Bank Arena on Wednesday night.
Despite surrendering a two-goal lead in the third period, the Panthers got the edge in the shootout with a winning goal from Brad Marchand. The win gives the Panthers two points, and they moved into a tie with Ottawa in the Atlantic Division. Florida is two points behind Toronto and eight behind the Bruins. Florida has one more game — a road contest against rival Tampa Bay on Thursday — before the Olympic break.
