Florida Panthers News

Lundell suffered an upper-body injury in Boston on Tuesday and will miss the Panthers' back-to-back on Thursday/Friday. Head coach Andrew Brunette said that Lundell is day-to-day and hopeful that he'll be ready for the playoffs.

Verhaeghe was held out of the last three games but will replace Mason Marchment (maintenance) in the lineup on Tuesday. Verhaeghe has been pretty quiet as of late, posting just five points (1G / 4A) in his last 14 games.

Verhaeghe will be held out of the Panthers' lineup on Thursday with Joe Thornton drawing back into the lineup. Sam Reinhart will move up to the top line with Verhaeghe out.

Nosek has not scored a goal since January 2nd, posting 10 assists in 43 games over that stretch. That's not really his part of the game but he will be scratched Saturday to make room for Trent Frederic to return to the lineup.

Rodrigues left Tuesday's game due to an illness after playing just 6:27 TOI and was not on the ice for the Penguins' morning skate. He has not been ruled out for Thursday's rematch vs. the Islanders but is a game-time decision.

Gadjovich suffers a hand injury while blocking a shot on Tuesday and will not play Thursday vs. the Flames. Jeffrey Viel will replace him in the Sharks' bottom-6.

Lundell has missed the last 11 games with a combination of a lower-body injury and illness but is set to play Saturday in New Jersey. Lundell will replace Joe Thornton in the lineup but it's unclear who he will skate with to start.
