The Florida Panthers kick off their first-round series against the Washington Capitals Tuesday evening, and it’s nothing but good news at the morning skate. Head coach Andrew Brunette confirmed to reporters including Katie Gaus of BALLY Sports that Aaron Ekblad will make his long-awaited return to the lineup Tuesday night. Mason Marchment will also be in the lineup after missing the last game of the regular season. He did not return, meaning his chase of 20 goals and a point-per-game season will have to wait. Now, after more than a month on the shelf, he’ll return just in time for the Panthers.
