Panthers forward Brad Marchand sustains left leg injury in second period against Kings
Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand suffered a left leg injury during a game against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night. The incident occurred in the second period when Marchand was hit by a stick from Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke. The collision caused Marchand to twist and fall awkwardly, resulting in his left leg bending in an unnatural manner.
He remained on the ice for several minutes while being examined by a trainer before being assisted by teammates Brady Tkachuk and Niko Mikkola to the bench. Unable to bear weight on his injured leg, Marchand was subsequently helped to the dressing room. Clarke was penalized with a four-minute double minor for the incident. Marchand, a 38-year-old player, is in his third season with the Panthers following 16 seasons with the Boston Bruins. He was traded to Florida in March 2025, contributing to the team's Stanley Cup victory that season.
