Gudbranson (undisclosed) will return to the Panthers lineup for Game 1.

Gudbranson missed the last three games of the regular season, but will be back in for the start of the playoffs. Gudbranson doesn’t do much in the way of offence, but he is a big, physical defenseman who will play a big part in a playoff series for the Panthers.

Gudbranson (lower-body) will return to the Panthers lineup on Thursday.

Gudbranson has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury, but will return tonight vs. the Devils. With Gudbranson back, Alex Petrovic will be a healthy scratch. Gudbranson has two goals and seven assists (nine points) in 61 games this season.

The Panthers have activated Erik Gudbranson (upper-body) from IR; will play on Thursday.

Gudbranson has missed the last eight games with an upper-body injury, but he will return tonight vs. the Coyotes. Gudbranson has just six points (1G / 5A) in 51 games this season, but is second on the team in hits (127) and fourth in blocked shots (58).

The Panthers have signed restricted free agent Erik Gudbranson to a two-year contract.

Gudbranson, 22, had just nine points (3G / 6A) and a minus-7 rating in 65 games with the Panthers last season. While those numbers don't jump off the board at you, he led the Panthers in PIMs (114), hits (158) and was fifth in blocked shots (91). He put up decent offensive numbers in juniors, but has yet to show he can score consistently in the NHL.
