Brad Marchand Placed on Injured Reserve by Panthers with Leg Injury

Florida Panthers winger Brad Marchand was officially placed on injured reserve on Monday after suffering a left leg injury against the Los Angeles Kings last Tuesday. The team expects Marchand to be sidelined for approximately six weeks, establishing an expected return timeline around mid-to-late November. The veteran forward could potentially be shifted to long-term injured reserve at a later date as Florida manages his roster spot during recovery.
