Stamkos (lower-body) will play in Game 1 against the Panthers.











Skjei has missed the last four games with a concussion but will play Thursday vs. Detroit. Skjei will likely replace Jake Bean or Jake Gardiner and skate with Brett Pesce.




Skjei suffered an upper-body injury midway through Tuesday's win in Tampa and is not expected to play tonight in Sunrise. Joakim Ryan is expected to make his Hurricanes debut to replace Skjei.




Stamkos' move to LTIR is retroactive to April 9th, which means that he will miss at least 10 games/24 days. 10 games will come first with Stamkos being eligible to return for May 1st in Detroit.
