Marchand said the injury could have ended his season or career, but he is already rehabbing and hopes to skate back into games within six weeks.
- On Thursday, Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand revealed he hopes to return to game action within six weeks after suffering a left knee injury in early October.
- Marchand suffered the injury during a game against the Los Angeles Kings on October 6, 2026, when he took a high stick and crashed into the goal post, requiring teammates to help him off the ice.
- Teammate Aleksander Barkov, also recovering from injury, has been working through daily rehab sessions with Marchand. Barkov said, "Hopefully, soon, both of us will be back and it's been obviously great to share the experience with Marchy."
