Panthers Forward Brad Marchand Sustains Left Leg Injury in Second Period Against Kings
Brad Marchand is expected to resume skating in about three weeks after the collision that left him unable to put weight on his left leg, coach Paul Maurice said.
- On Friday, Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice announced that forward Brad Marchand will miss approximately six weeks with a left leg injury sustained Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings.
- Marchand suffered the injury with 52.6 seconds remaining in the second period after taking a high stick from Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke and colliding with the right goalpost, leaving him unable to bear weight.
- Despite losing Marchand, the Panthers defeated the Kings 2-1 on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena, with Matthew Tkachuk scoring the go-ahead goal with 8:40 remaining in the third period.
- This injury compounds Florida's roster challenges, as captain Aleksander Barkov remains sidelined for six to eight weeks, forcing the team to manage without two core players during their road trip.
- While Marchand missed 30 games last season, Maurice acknowledged this setback is not season-ending, though the veteran's recovery adds to the team's mounting injury concerns from 2024-25.
