Brad Marchand, a seasoned forward with the Florida Panthers, is set to make his debut on Friday night after recovering from an upper-body injury that sidelined him since March 1. Acquired from the Boston Bruins during the trade deadline, Marchand brings valuable experience and skill to the lineup. Coach Paul Maurice indicated that the team has been cautious with Marchand's return to ensure his readiness. His impressive stats from this season, including 21 goals and 47 points in 61 games, highlight the potential impact he could have alongside teammates Sam Bennett and Mackie Samoskevich.
"He's dying to get into the game, to play the game with the guys out there... we're not jamming these guys back on their first available day."
"We expect him to play."
"He's such a good player... When he has the puck, he sees you. He's got eyes on the back of his head."
