Florida Panthers' GM Bill Zito anticipates Brad Marchand's return from surgery early in the upcoming season, emphasizing a cautious approach to his recovery.
The Florida Panthers will start the 2026-27 season without Brad Marchand, but general manager Bill Zito is not concerned about his absence. Zito mentioned that Marchand is expected to return early in the season following off-season surgery.
During a press conference before training camp, Zito indicated that the team would take a conservative approach to Marchand's recovery. Marchand had surgery to address a lower-body injury that plagued him throughout the previous season, leading to his shutdown for the last 19 games.
Despite the injury, Marchand managed to score 27 goals and provide 27 assists in 52 games last season. He joined the Panthers before the 2024-25 trade deadline and contributed to the team’s consecutive Stanley Cup victories.
