Brendan Brisson will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Schwindt to re-enter the lineup for the Golden Knights. The 23-year-old Schwindt has one assist, seven blocks, and four hits through seven games this season.
Barkov has missed the last eight games due to a lower-body injury but will return to the lineup on Monday in the Panthers final contest before heading to Finland for the NHL Global Series. The defending Stanley Cup Champions are off to a fine start to the 2024-25 season, posting a 6-3-1 record, but will be overjoyed to have their captain back in the lineup. Last season, Barkov had 80 points (23G / 57A) in 73 games.
Reinhardt has played the last two games for Ottawa, tallying one assist, his first career NHL point. The 24-year-old was a sixth-round pick of the Senators in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.
Shane Pinto will not play on Friday against the Vegas Golden Knights, allowing Reinhardt to draw into the lineup for his season debut. The 24-year-old Reinhardt has five points (2G / 3A) in three games this season with the Belleville Senators (AHL).
Reinhardt was recalled last weekend as well but served as a healthy scratch for Ottawa. The 24-year-old Reinhardt has five points (2G / 3A) in three games this season with the Belleville Senators (AHL).
Martin was a sixth-round pick of the Panthers in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The 19-year-old Edmonton native has spent the last four seasons with the Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL). He has eight points (1G / 7A) in eight games with Medicine Hat this season.
Barkov has missed the last six games due to a lower-body injury and will miss at least one more before a potential return to the lineup. The defending Stanley Cup Champions are off to a reasonable start to the 2024-25 season, posting a 4-3-1 record, but will be overjoyed to have their captain back in the lineup. Last season, Barkov had 80 points (23G / 57A) in 73 games.
Reinhardt was recalled over the weekend but served as a healthy scratch for Ottawa. The 24-year-old Reinhardt has been reassigned to the Belleville Senators (AHL), where he has five points (2G / 3A) in three games this season.
Tkachuk has not played since the second game of the season on October 10th, missing five contests, but is on schedule for his targeted return date of October 22nd. Over the past three seasons, Tkachuk has been among the league leaders in the NHL, averaging 1.25 points per game. He has two points (0G / 2A) and seven shots on goal in two games this season and will reclaim his spot on the Panthers' top line and top powerplay unit.

Reinhardt will replace Mads Sogaard on the Senators' roster for their road trip next week. The 24-year-old only has one career NHL game under his belt, but could get into the lineup next week after a strong start in the AHL--two goals and three assists in three games.
The Panthers' head coach Paul Maurice reported that Tkachuk is battling an illness and targeting a return on October 22nd against the Minnesota Wild. Over the past three seasons, Tkachuk has been among the league leaders in the NHL, averaging 1.25 points per game. Florida's top line is nearly completely decimated for the time being as they are also without Aleksander Barkov (lower-body). Sam Bennett and Evan Rodrigues will likely be the beneficiaries on the top line and top powerplay unit in the interim.
Tkachuk's illness comes at a tough time, as the Panthers will also be without Aleksander Barkov (lower-body) on Saturday. With Tkachuk out, Eetu Luostarinen will move up into the top-6 on Saturday. Consider Tkachuk day-to-day and questionable to play Monday in Boston.
Barkov had to be helped off the ice at the end of Thursday's loss in Ottawa after crashing leg-first into the end boards. All things considered, this is good news for the Panthers but they'll be extremely shorthanded on Saturday with Matthew Tkachuk (illness) also sidelined. Anton Lundell should take on a much larger role while Barkov is out. Expect Barkov to miss roughly 10 games.
Schwindt was the 81st overall pick of the Calgary Flames in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and has spent most of his professional career thus far in the AHL. Last season, he scored 36 points (14G / 22A) in 66 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). He will draw into the lineup in favour of Brendan Brisson.
Barkov suffered the injury late in the third period of Thursday's game after falling feet first into the boards and appeared to be unable to put any weight on his right leg while being helped off the ice. We can expect to get an update on the injury prior to Florida's game in Buffalo on Saturday.
Entwistle was a member of the Chicago Blackhawks for the first four seasons of his NHL career and will likely begin his 2024-25 campaign with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) after being sent down on Wednesday. In 193 career games, all with the Blackhawks, Entwistle has 35 points (15G / 20A).
