Gadjovich (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Gadjovich has missed the last nine games and isn't expected to play until at least early February after undergoing surgery. His move to injured reserve opens a roster spot for a potential AHL call-up due to recent injuries to Eetu Luostarinen (lower body) and Cole Schwindt (undisclosed).

Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Undergoes surgery
Rotowire
Gadjovich (upper body) will undergo surgery and is expected to miss about three months, Panthers TV Rinkside Reporter Katie Engleson reports Saturday.
Gadjovich has already missed Florida's past four games due to the injury. He has three assists, seven PIM, eight shots and 30 hits in 10 appearances this season. Gadjovich primarily serves on the fourth line when healthy, and his absence might lead to Cole Schwindt playing regularly over the coming months.

Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Inks extension on birthday
Rotowire
Gadjovich has signed a two-year contract extension with the Panthers, the team announced Sunday.
Gadjovich has been a big part of Florida's bottom six since joining the team in the 2023-24 season. It's a nice 27th birthday gift for the physical winger, who is now tied to the Panthers organization through the 2027-28 season. He's off to a good start this season, notching an assist, 11 hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in three games.

Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Bags helper in opener
Rotowire
Gadjovich recorded an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
In ideal circumstances, Gadjovich might not have a place in the lineup, but he looks set to compete for fourth-line minutes early in 2025-26 while the Panthers await the return of Matthew Tkachuk (groin). It didn't take long for Gadjovich to get on the scoresheet this season, as he set up A.J. Greer on Florida's first goal of the game at 11:06 of the opening frame. Entering this season, Gadjovich had collected just 18 points over 160 career appearances, and he's never logged more than seven points or 43 games in a campaign. While he adds some grit in the form of hits and PIM, he's not a particularly strong option in most fantasy formats.

Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Pots goal Sunday
Rotowire
Gadjovich scored a goal and added three hits in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.
The Panthers' fourth line hasn't done a lot this postseason in general, but Gadjovich has been surprisingly productive when in the lineup. He's earned two goals, one assist, six shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-3 rating over five playoff appearances. He was scratched for all of the first round and the first two games of this series versus Toronto before making his postseason debut in Game 3. The 26-year-old's usage is heavily limited, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting much out of him for the rest of the playoffs.

Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Lights the lamp Saturday
Rotowire
Gadjovich netted a goal, blocked two shots and dished out five hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Washington.
Gadjovich capped off a six-goal first period with a tally just over 30 seconds after the Capitals took a 3-2 lead. With his tally, Gadjovich set a new career high in goals with four. His playmaking has taken a step back, as he's still searching for his first assist of the year. Gadjovich has averaged just under three hits per game this season with 96 hits in 33 contests. He's best left off fantasy rosters until he sees consistent ice time at the NHL level.
