During his time there, Marchand filled in as a guest head coach for the U-18 Marchand and Mill Co. Hunters, the youth hockey team that MacCallum is the head coach for. <\/p>\n<p>The game also served as a fundraiser for the MacCallum family. <\/p>\n<p>Marchand signed a six-year contract extension with the Panthers last summer. He finished this season with 27 goals and 54 points in 52 games. <\/p>\n<p>Each of the NHL\u2019s 32 teams will have a nominee for the Masterton Trophy. Members of the PHWA will vote on the nominees, and three finalists will be announced sometime during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=489\">Bam Adebayo scores 83 points, 2nd-best in NBA history, sets FT records in Heat win over Wizards<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Professional Hockey Writers Association revealed the nominees for the 2026 Bill Masterton on Wednesday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
