Rotowire
Marchand scored a goal in Florida's 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday.
It was Marchand's first goal as a member of the Panthers; it came in his eighth game with his new team. He has struggled to find his footing in Florida, but that was to be expected after playing 1,090 games with another team before the move. Marchand has three points in eight contests with the Panthers and 50 points (22 goals, 28 assists) and 190 shots in 69 games overall.

Panthers' Brad Marchand: Sets up game-winner in debut
Rotowire
Marchand registered an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over Utah.
Marchand returned from an 11-game absence, during which he was traded to the Panthers from the Bruins. The 36-year-old logged 16:30 of ice time in his Florida debut, and it ended with him setting up Sam Bennett on the game-winning goal. He'll likely be able to see a smaller role with the Panthers given the depth of his new team's offense. Marchand has 48 points, 179 shots on net, 68 hits, 62 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 62 appearances this season.

Panthers' Brad Marchand: Might be available for Friday
Rotowire
Marchand (upper body) might make his Panthers debut Friday versus Utah, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.
Florida acquired Marchand from Boston on March 7, but he hasn't been able to play for the Panthers because of his injury, which occurred March 1. Marchand has 21 goals, 47 points and 62 PIM over 61 outings in 2024-25. If he does play Friday, it will probably be as part of the top six and a member of the first power-play unit. His presence would likely result in a reduction in Mackie Samoskevich's role.

Rotowire
General manager Bill Zito said Friday that Marchand (upper body) is expected to miss a couple of weeks, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.
The Panthers head out on a six-game road trip after Saturday's tilt versus Buffalo, returning March 23 to play Pittsburgh. Marchand could make his Florida debut during the team's homestand. He had 21 goals, 26 assists, 175 shots on goal and 66 hits across 61 appearances with Boston before Friday's trade to the Panthers. Marchand will likely have a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play unit when he is available to return.

Panthers' Brad Marchand: Headed for Sunshine State
Rotowire
Marchand (upper body) was traded to the Panthers from the Bruins on Friday in exchange for a 2027 conditional second-round pick that could become a 2028 first-round selection, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.
For the first time in his 16-year NHL career, Marchand will be sporting a jersey other than the Bruins. There is no clear timeline for when the veteran forward will be ready to return, but the Panthers wouldn't have made this deal if there was a concern the veteran center wouldn't be available for at least the postseason, if not sooner. Once given the all-clear, Marchand likely will move into a second-line role with Sam Bennett, though he could push up a line to play with Aleksander Barkov.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Set to miss time
Rotowire
Marchand (upper body) was deemed week-to-week by head coach Joe Sacco on Tuesday, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.
Marchand missed his first game of the season Sunday against the Wild after getting injured Saturday against the Penguins. The 36-year-old's looming absence doesn't bode well for a Boston club that currently sits two points out of a playoff spot. While he's sidelined, Georgi Merkulov could receive an extended look in the top six, and Cole Koepke may see extra minutes. Over 61 games this season, Marchand has accounted for 21 goals, 47 points and a minus-8 rating.

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Unlikely to return Saturday
Rotowire
Marchand (upper body) is unlikely to return to Saturday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
Marchand sustained the injury late in the second period after being hit into the boards by Pierre-Olivier Joseph. The 36-year-old Marchand entered Saturday's game with 21 goals and 47 points in 60 games this season.
Marchand had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
His goal came on the power play. Marchand is on a four-game, five-point scoring streak (two goals, three assists). Right when we think he's about to slow down, he makes us re-evaluate our perspective. Marchand is on pace to match his point total from the last two seasons (67 points) and rip more than 230 shots. He's not putting up as many points on the power play as he's done in the past, but his fantasy value remains strong.

The veteran is a safe play in fantasy for the rest of the season and will look to build momentum while skating for Team Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Marchand scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and logged 14 PIM in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.

Rotowire
Marchand scored a goal in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to Buffalo.
Marchand has a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist), and he has 39 points, including 18 goals, in 52 outings. While his scoring is down a touch, Marchand is still firing a load of pucks (150), and he's on pace for his 10th consecutive 60-plus point season. There's plenty of value in redraft formats for a winger with that kind of production.
