Brad Marchand Out Saturday with Undisclosed Injury, Possible Return Monday

Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game in Ottawa, marking his second consecutive absence after sustaining an injury Tuesday in Toronto. Coach Paul Maurice indicated it's not a major injury but something the 37-year-old veteran has been battling, requiring time to heal. Marchand has had a strong 2025-26 campaign, recording 23 goals and 23 assists across 41 appearances. There is a possibility he could return to the lineup on Monday in Buffalo.
