Marchand underwent surgery on his elbow, groin and abdominal area during the offseason, according to Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com.
Marchand played through a torn elbow tendon for the entire 2023-24 campaign while dealing with sports hernia issues later in the year. He didn't do much training over the summer but hopes to be ready for the start of camp. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he was limited during on-ice sessions out of the gate. Marchand registered 29 goals and 67 points across 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24 before adding three tallies and seven assists in 11 playoff outings.
