Dadonov gets downgraded to the fourth line after not scoring for four consecutive games. He has two goals through six to start the season but coach Kevin Dineen likely wants more from the skilled Russian.
"So I’d say there is a good chance that Jake will get one of the games this weekend.”
Markstrom should be worth a look as a spot starter so make sure to check the starting goalies page for both of these two games. The highly-touted netminder previously posted solid numbers with a 2.05 GAA and .944 SV%.

Jacob Markstrom on way back to #FlaPanthers;
Markstrom dominated the NHL in his first stint with a 2.05 GAA and .944 SV%. He likely only serves as Theodore tonight but could get back between the pipes if Clemmensen remains out.

#FlaPanthers send rookie goalie Jacob Markstrom to AHL San Antonio as expected
Markstrom performed well with a 2-2-1 record, 2.05 GAA and .944 SV% but needs regular playing time. Expect him to return and play should either of the veteran goalies get injured.

Panthers send Evgeny Dadanov to AhL @sarampage
Dadonov has no fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Evgeny Dadonov, Keaton Ellerby scratched for #FlaPanthers;
Dadonov is an off-man out following the team's offseason shopping spree. Last season, he scored eight goals and 17 points through 36 games. Expect him to draw back into the lineup sooner rather than later.
Evgeny Dadonov, starting his second full season with the Panthers, may be the odd man out at least early on.
With all the recent signings in Florida, it appears Dadonov is the odd man out. Last season he scored eight goals and 17 points through 36 games at age 21. He should rotate back into the lineup at some point this year.
That means bubble players such as Shawn Matthias, Evgeny Dadonov are safe for now.
The Chelyabinsk, Russia has surprised since coming to North America and could have solidified his role with the big club. Last season he managed to score eight goals and 17 points through 36 games, showing signs of a breakout campaign. While he should start the season on the third line, expect him to see valuable offensive minutes down the road.
Line Change
“I don’t know that mind-set,’’ said Markstrom, a former junior star for his country’s national teams in Sweden. “I want to play every game. You need to have that mind-set. You can’t be happy to sit on the bench. I’ll see what happens. This is a good team, a good league and [we have] good goalies in this organization.
Markstrom clearly wants to grasp the starting goalie position sooner rather than later. Last season he finished with a 16-20-1 record over 37 games played, sporting a 2.98 GAA and .907 SV%. He played in one game last season with the Panthers, allowing two goals over 40 minutes. He remains one of the team's top prospects so keep him high up on your sleeper lists.
Line Change
As I wrote the other night, Plante’s rough night against the Stars on Tuesday made the decision easier which goalie will back up Theodore when the season starts. Plante, who played well against Nashville, was placed in a difficult situation, coming in cold, and his defense didn’t help much. However, Markstrom pitched a shutout while Plante gave up four goals.
The team's top prospect will get his first real chance at the starting goalie job by backing up Jose Theodore. While he remains one of the premier goaltending prospects in hockey, the former 31st over pick struggled with injuries and inconsistency in the AHL last season. Should he prove himself at the NHL level, look for the younger Markstrom to supplant Theodore before the end of the season.
