Panthers' Marchand Faces Surgery, Weeks Out

Brad Marchand heads to doctors this week for a nagging lower-body injury that's plagued him for months, and Paul Maurice drops the hammer that it's weeks, not days, on the shelf for the Panthers' gritty veteran. The 37-year-old sniper, who's second on the team with 27 goals despite gutting it out, just hit LTIR retroactive to March 6th, opening the door for Seth Jones while Florida fights a mountain of injuries and fading playoff dreams.
