Marchand (leg) was placed on injured reserve by the Panthers on Monday, per theNHL media site.
The Panthers announced late last week that Marchand would miss approximately six weeks due to a left leg injury he sustained Tuesday against the Kings. As a result, it isn't surprising to see him placed on injured reserve, and he could also move to long-term injured reserve at some point. Given his initial return timetable, Marchand could return to action sometime around mid-to-late November.
