Lundell scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Wild.
He opened the scoring with just 13 seconds left in the first period when he took a feed from Aleksander Barkov in the slot and knifed it by Filip Gustavsson. His assist came on Sam Reinhart's empty netter in the last minute of the game. Lundell is making the most of his opportunity on wing on the kitties' top line. He's in the midst of a four-game, five-point streak that includes three goals.

Panthers' Anton Lundell: Garners assist in win
Rotowire
Lundell notched an assist, six shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Avalanche.
Lundell was elevated to the top line Tuesday amid a seven-game point drought. He snapped that skid quickly, setting up Aleksander Barkov's opening tally midway through the first period. Lundell's last goal came versus the Oilers on Nov. 28, but he missed time with an upper-body injury in December. The 21-year-old has 15 points. 75 shots on net, 25 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 33 contests. If he sticks on the top-line, he may be worth a look in fantasy despite his lack of recent production.
