Brad Marchand stepped back onto the ice at the TD Garden in a Panthers practice jersey as the longtime Bruins player returned to Boston for the first time since he was traded to Florida

Much of the buzz around TD Garden Tuesday morning came from Brad Marchand’s return to the ice in another team’s jersey.

But instead of donning a black-and-gold Boston Bruins jersey -- or even a fourth-line merlot jersey -- Marchand was wearing a white sweater, emblazoned with “Property of Florida” surrounding a Florida Panthers logo. It was a jarring sight. Even, seemingly, to Marchand.
