Panthers' Marchand Exits Game with Lingering Injury; Previously Declined Leafs Offer

Brad Marchand was pulled from Tuesday's game vs. the Maple Leafs due to a lingering injury concern that worsened, prompting a preventative move by Panthers staff. His status for Thursday's game vs. the Canadiens is unclear. This follows two scoreless games, ending his 10-game point streak. Marchand recently revealed he re-signed with the Florida Panthers on a six-year, $31.5M deal, despite a prior offer from the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 37-year-old forward has 23 goals and 23 assists in 40 games this season and is set to play in the Winter Olympics.
