Marchand is week-to-week with an upper-body injury and will not play Tuesday, but he will join his new team for the start of a six-game road trip.

Alas, Marchand was out there with the Cats. During line rushes, he skated with on the top unit with Sasha Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe. Whether or not that means anything for Marchand’s game status remains to be seen. Florida will face the Bruins at 7 p.m. Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice will address the media following the morning skate.
