Line Change
Vrbata will be back in the Panthers lineup on Thursday.

Vrbata was a healthy scratch for the last three games but with Denis Malgin (upper-body) out, Vrbata will replace him on the second line. Vrbata has picked up five goals and eight assists (13 points) in 38 games this season. Despite a rough year, he is a decent daily punt play while playing alongside Vincent Trocheck and Jonathan Huberdeau.
Vrbata (illness) is doubtful for Thursday vs. the Flyers.
Vrbata was not on the ice for the Panthers practice on Wednesday and is not expected to play tonight. Vrbata has had a tough season in Florida so he isn’t fantasy relevant at this time anyways.
Line Change
Vrbata is expected to be back in the Panthers lineup on Thursday.
Vrbata was a scratch on Tuesday but is expected to play tonight in Colorado. It has been a slow first two months for Vrbata, who has just 11 points (3G / 8A) in 25 games this season. He will likely replace Connor Brickley in the lineup.

One-year removed from a 31-goal, 63-point campaign, Vrbata posted just 13 goals and 14 assists (27 points) in 63 games last season. Vrbata joins a youthful Coyotes’ team and could crack their top-6 right out of the gate.

Vrbata (knee) will miss the rest of the regular season.
Vrbata only appeared in six games after returning from an undisclosed injury, but suffered a knee injury on Friday and will miss the final 11 games of the regular season. He had a tough season, posting just 13 goals and 14 assists (27 points) in 63 games.
