SUNRISE, Fla. – Florida Panthers President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Bill Zito announced today that the club has agreed to terms with forward Brad Marchand on a six-year contract extension.

Marchand is fresh off of helping lead the Panthers to their second straight championship. In his first season with the team after being acquired before the trade deadline, he was a huge part of knocking off the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid for the second straight season in the Stanley Cup Final.

After two consecutive championships, the Panthers are keeping the group together for another run — or several.
