Panthers’ Brad Marchand scored a goal with special meaning. It was for Selah

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Marchand put the puck in the back of the net for the Florida Panthers on Saturday night, then pointed a finger in the air and looked to the sky.

The reason was obvious.

This goal was for Selah.

Marchand’s sixth goal of this season and the 430th of his career was unlike none other. It came three days after he was home in Nova Scotia, paying tribute to the life of 10-year-old Selah Panacci-MacCallum — the daughter of his close friend JP MacCallum.
