Marchand participated in practice Wednesday; Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday the forward could return sometime "closer than the end of the month." ... Stenberg will make his NHL debut. ... Gaudette hasn't skated fully with the team since Sept. 18 but the forward joined the extras after the official portion of the morning skate ended.
