Line Change
Santorelli, who has been out since preseason after injuring his shoulder, skated on a line with Ryan Carter and Matt Bradley.
Looks like if Matthias can't play tonight, Santorelli will draw back in. Known as more of an offensive player, the Vancouver native scored 20 goals and 41 points last season centering the second line. His new coach likely eases him back into the lineup.

Some bad news out of Panthers practice as center Mike Santorelli will be out for about 2-4 weeks with a shoulder injury sustained in the second period of Tuesday’s 4-3 OT loss to Dallas.
Tough news as Santorelli was expected to center one of the top two lines. The former 6th round pick scored 20 goals and 41 points last season with the Panthers. He should come near those totals this season if he remains a vital part of the team's offense.
As expected the Panthers re-signed forward Mike Santorelli to a two-year deal. Santorelli, 25, scored 20 goals in his first full NHL season and should be a good fit with some of the skilled forwards that GM Dale Tallon and asst. GM Mike Santos will surround him with.
