Marchand Injured Again in Panthers' Win
7 Oct
Summary
- Brad Marchand sustained a left leg injury during Tuesday's game.
- The injury occurred after a stick to the face and awkward leg bend.
- Marchand was unable to put weight on his leg after the incident.
Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand suffered a left leg injury in the second period of Tuesday's 2-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings. Marchand, who had just begun his season on Sunday, was hurt following a stick to the face from Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke. The impact caused Marchand to twist and collide with the goalpost, resulting in an awkward bend of his left leg.
He was unable to put weight on his injured leg and was assisted off the ice by teammates. Clarke was assessed a double minor penalty for the infraction. Marchand's previous lower-body injury last season led to him being shut down in early March 2026, followed by offseason surgery. He was initially expected to miss the first month of the current season but returned sooner, scoring his first goal since February 2026 in his season debut on Sunday.
