Sundqvist (ankle) took full part in warmups and is expected to play against the Panthers on Thursday.

Sundqvist suffered a scary injury nearly two weeks ago, a cut that narrowly missed his Achilles, which would have likely ended his season.

Neighbours (lower-body) took full part in warmups and is expected to play against the Panthers on Thursday.

Already without top-six forwards Robert Thomas (lower body) and Dylan Holloway (ankle), the Blues' injury woes worsened in Tuesday's game against the Dallas Stars, with Jordan Kyrou (upper body) and Jake Neighbours (lower body) both exiting the game early. Luckily for the Blues, both Kyrou and Neighbours are healthy enough to return on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. The 23-year-old Neighbours has 21 points (12G / 9A) in 41 games this season, but has struggled lately, with only one assist in his last five outings.
