Florida’s injured stars have resumed practicing with teammates, targeting a pre-Thanksgiving return as they enter the final stages of recovery from early-season lower-body injuries.
Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice announced that forwards Aleksander Barkov and Brad Marchand are within two weeks of returning to the lineup. Speaking following a morning skate at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Maurice stated that both players are progressing well through their expected six-to-eight-week recovery timelines, with a return targeted prior to Thanksgiving.
Both Barkov and Marchand suffered lower-body injuries during the opening week of the season. After resuming skating in late October, both forwards have joined teammates for formal practices and are currently traveling with the Panthers during their ongoing road trip.
