Marchand's Double Torches Leafs in Panthers' Return

Brad Marchand wastes no time shaking off the Olympic rust, potting two goals including a greasy slot redirect and a cheeky empty-netter to lead the Panthers past the Maple Leafs. Florida explodes for three in the first, with Evan Rodrigues notching his first shorthanded tally in 604 games after stripping William Nylander clean. The back-to-back champs, eight points from the wild card, desperately need this momentum with a brutal road stretch looming and Buffalo up next.
