Boston's Cam Neely Could Be Next On The Hot Seat Team Canada returned to practice on Feb. 14 after picking up a big 4-3 overtime against Team Sweden on Feb. 12. Boston Bruins [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/] superstar Brad Marchand contributed to the win, as he scored a beautiful goal. [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/bruins-star-makes-big-impact-in-4-nations-face-off-opener] While Marchand immediately clicked with Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point, Canada head coach Jon Cooper split the two up at practice. Marchand and Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis were dropped to the fourth line, with Florida Panthers forward and Bruins villain Sam Bennett as their new center. This is undoubtedly a shocking lineup change, as Bennett memorably injured Marchand during the playoffs last year with the sucker punch to the face. This sidelined No. 63 for Games 4 and 5 of the series before he came back for Game 6. Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (9) and Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand (63) speak after the Panthers defeated the Bruins in game six of the second round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs at TD Garden on May 17, 2024.

Marchand discussed the hit [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/brad-marchand-breaks-silence-on-sam-bennett-cheap-shot] last May, noting that he thought Bennett "got away with one" but also that plays like that are "a part of playoff hockey."

Who would have ever predicted these two would be on the same line? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Google News [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjEyMTYzODI4NzY5NjI5NzMx/google-news.png] Google News Stay updated with the most interesting Bruins stories, analysis, breaking news and more!
