“I wasn’t nervous or anything,” Marchand said after the game. “It was a wonderful opportunity to honor Serra.”
In points per game so far, Marchand currently leads the team in points (12) and is tied for first in goals (6) and assists (6).
Last season, the Panthers finished with a 2-2-0 record on trips to California and Nevada.
Latest information on Gajovic
The Panthers will need to learn quickly about forward Jonah Gajovic, who will not be with the team on the upcoming road trip.
“We’ll give you a definite answer on that in a couple of days,” head coach Paul Maurice said. “He’s on the radar.”
Gajovic suffered an upper-body injury in a 3-0 win against the Golden Knights on October 25.
Gajovic had three assists and 30 hits in 10 games.
Sebrango does well in debut match
Donovan Sebrango made a good first impression in his Panthers debut.
The 23-year-old defenseman logged 15 minutes, 56 seconds of ice time against the Stars on Saturday, recording two shots, one hit, one block and a plus/minus rating of +2.
“I liked the way he played,” Maurice said of the young defenseman. “I thought he was very predictable. I liked the fact that he kept his intensity level straight throughout the match.”
Sebrango appeared in two games with the Ottawa Senators this season and was claimed off waivers by the Panthers on October 15.
