Panthers' Brad Marchand helped off ice after ugly collision

The Florida Panthers have been struck by some bad injury luck, and after captain Aleksander Barkov recently hurt his knee, Brad Marchand has also done the same.

Top Six Minutes: The Hurricanes have the Canadiens figured out

First period Nick Suzuki makes a nice play to bat the puck out to the neutral from eye level and then not play it to allow his teammates to change, stopping an early shift of pressure from Carolina. Juraj Slafkovský runs into a trap of two Hurricanes payers as he attempts to carry the puck out, turning it over in the neutral zone.
