Panthers' Nico Sturm: In action against Wings

Sturm (upper body) will play versus Detroit on Thursday, per NHL.com.

Sturm will slide into a third-line role in his first outing back following a four-game stint on the shelf. Considering the 29-year-old German has gone 11 games without a goal and managed just one helper over that stretch, his reintroduction into the lineup is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers.
