Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Ruled out with lower-body injury

Luostarinen has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Canucks due to a lower-body injury, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Luostarinen has been on a hot streak recently, racking up three goals, 10 points, 27 hits, 13 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-5 rating while averaging 17:22 of ice time over his last 11 appearances. However, he's now considered day-to-day due to his lower-body injury. Mackie Samoskevich appears to be in line to serve on the top line Monday, while Luostarinen's next opportunity to return will be Thursday against the Devils.
