## Resource

Brad Marchand’s 2026-27 season kickoff is in jeopardy after hip and sports hernia surgery—his third major procedure since age 30. At 38, recovery may take longer than expected, with Panthers GM Bill Zito emphasizing caution. Though Marchand’s already skating, his absence could ripple through the team’s early-season momentum, especially since he led the Panthers in goals and points before his shutdown. With preseason games starting Sunday and the opener against Carolina on Sept. 29, fans are watching closely to see how long “The Identity” stays sidelined—and whether he’ll return at full throttle.
