Panthers Dodge Bullet With Latest Brad Marchand Injury Update
Florida Panthers star Brad Marchand is only expected to be out for six weeks after suffering his scary injury.
Florida Panthers star forward Brad Marchand left their October 6 game against the Los Angeles Kings early after suffering a lower-body injury. As he drove to the net, Marchand fell awkwardly into the side of the net, requiring assistance off the ice. Initially, fears arose that his injury might be a season-ending one, but head coach Paul Maurice confirmed Marchand would be out for six weeks.
The veteran winger is expected to begin skating again in three weeks, with a return to the lineup anticipated in late November. While six weeks out is significant, this update is far more favorable than a potentially season-ending injury. If all progresses smoothly, Marchand should return as an 18-year NHL veteran, contributing 27 goals and 54 points in his previous 52 games with the Panthers.
