Status report
Marchand took part in the Panthers’ morning skate but the forward is expected to miss his eighth straight game; coach Paul Maurice said the fact Florida is playing the second half of a back-to-back at the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday was part of the consideration for Marchand’s return. … Boldy is expected to return after missing four games with a lower-body injury.
