The Florida Panthers aren't expecting to see Brad Marchand play again anytime soon, and with the team's playoff hopes dwindling it's possible that the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic silver medalist's season could be over.
Marchand has been dealing with a lower-body injury for some time, Florida coach Paul Maurice said Monday. The Panthers entered Monday 12 points out of a playoff spot with 19 games remaining, meaning it would take some sort of miraculous finish just for the injury-plagued, back-to-back Cup champs to get into the postseason.
