Marchand (lower body) is expected to be out for weeks due to a lingering injury, George Richards of NHL.com reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand may need surgery to address the issue, which is something he has been playing through for a couple of months. Even if he doesn't need a procedure, Marchand's absence is likely to be for an extended period. He has amassed 27 goals, 54 points and 138 shots on net across 52 appearances this season.

Marchand (lower body) won't play against Detroit on Tuesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand didn't participate in Monday's practice and has a doctor visit scheduled to assess his lingering injury. He missed 10 of Florida's 15 games before the Olympics because of the issue, but he was able to play in most of the tournament for Team Canada in Italy. Depending on what happens with his evaluation, this could turn into another extended absence for the 37-year-old forward. Marchand has 27 goals, 54 points and 138 shots on net across 52 appearances this season.

Marchand scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

He opened the scoring on a turnover in the Leafs' zone, and he had an empty-net goal in the third to push the score to 4-1. Marchand has 27 goals this season and that ties a franchise record with Jaromir Jagr (2015-16) for the most in a season for a player aged 37 or older. Marchand is having a renaissance season with the kitties after putting up just 51 points in 71 games last season between Boston and Florida. He already has 52 points and 130 shots in just 47 games.

Marchand (undisclosed) will be good to go for Canada's opening game of the 2026 Winter Olympics against Czechia on Thursday, per Pierre LeBrun and Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand missed 10 of Florida's final 15 games before the Olympic break while nursing a lingering injury. He has accounted for 25 goals, 50 points and 127 shots on net in 46 NHL appearances this season. According to Mark Masters of TSN, Marchand skated on Canada's second line alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Nick Suzuki during Sunday's practice.

Marchand (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup Thursday versus Tampa Bay, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand returned from an undisclosed injury for Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win over Boston, but he logged just 10:55 of ice time in that game. It's not clear if Marchand is dealing with a new injury or if this is an extension of the issue that previously forced him to miss time. Marchand's next chance to play for Florida will come Feb. 26 versus Toronto, but if he's healthy, Marchand is expected to play for Team Canada during the Olympics. Canada's first game of the tournament is set for Feb. 12 against Czechia.

Contrary to a previous report, Marchand (undisclosed) is set to play versus the Bruins on Wednesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand was a surprise participant in warmups and took his regular turn on the third line. With Marchand good to go, Jesper Boqvist is set to exit the lineup. The 37-year-old Marchand had four points over four games between a pair of injury absences, and considering this was just a two-game stint on the shelf, he should be able to pick up his momentum.

Marchand (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday versus Boston, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand is being denied the opportunity to face his former team by an injury that is keeping him on the shelf for a third consecutive game. He has 25 goals and 50 points in 45 outings this campaign. Marchand's final chance to get into a game before the Olympic break will come Thursday in Tampa Bay.

Marchand (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sabres, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand sustained an undisclosed injury during Thursday's game against the Blues, and he'll be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup Monday. While a timetable for his return isn't yet clear, head coach Paul Maurice said after Monday's morning skate that there's a chance Marchand returns to action at some point this week. The 37-year-old's final two chances to suit up before the Olympic break will be Wednesday against Boston and Thursday against Tampa Bay.

Marchand (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game versus Winnipeg, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand was forced to leave Thursday's contest versus St. Louis in the third period. Marchand is having a stellar season with the Panthers, tallying 25 goals and 25 assists in 45 appearances. Marchand should be considered day-to-day at this time.

Marchand (undisclosed) will undergo further evaluation after leaving Thursday's game versus the Blues, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marchand didn't play much in the third period. The 37-year-old winger's status could be updated Friday, but fantasy managers may want to brace for him missing some time if his evaluations aren't positive. Jesper Boqvist will likely draw into the lineup if Marchand misses time.
