Boyle (upper body) is no longer listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

Boyle has been sidelined since Feb. 1 with an upper-body injury, but his activation off IR suggests he could be ready to rejoin the lineup as soon as Thursday against the Stars. The 6-foot-6 forward has picked up 15 points in 39 games this campaign.

Boyle (upper body) will not be available versus the Blues on Monday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Monday's matchup with St. Louis will mark Boyle's 19th consecutive game on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. The veteran's continued absence will likely keep Lucas Wallmark in a third-line center role and the No. 2 power-play unit. Once given the all-clear, Boyle will look to pick up where he left off after notching three points in seven games prior to getting hurt.

Boyle (upper body) might be an option during the Panthers' upcoming two-game road trip. According to coach Joel Quenneville, "We're looking at the road trip," David Work of WPLG Local 10 News reports.

Based on Quenneville's timeline, Boyle will miss at least the club's next two outings. The veteran center has already missed the previous 16 tilts due to his upper-body issue. Once cleared to play, Boyle should take on a bottom-six role and could push Mark Pysyk back to the blue line.

Coach Joel Quenneville said Monday that Boyle (upper body) has resumed skating, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Boyle has missed the past 12 games while dealing with the upper-body injury. This news is at least a positive sign that the veteran is nearing a return, but Quenneville didn't specify an exact timetable. Expect the team to provide an update on an as-needed basis before Boyle is activated off injured reserve.

Coach Joel Quenneville expects Boyle to miss multiple weeks but anticipates a return at some point this season, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Boyle has already sat out the last six games, but it sounds like more time on the mend awaits the veteran forward. Until developments suggest he's inching closer to a return, it's best to consider Boyle sidelined indefinitely.

Boyle (undisclosed) didn't travel with the team for its two-game road trip, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

The news means Boyle will miss the next two games due to his undisclosed injury, though the center is still considered day-to-day. Even once cleared to play, the veteran will likely fill a bottom-six role, which makes him a mid-range fantasy option, at best.

Boyle (undisclosed) will sit out Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

The veteran forward will miss a fourth consecutive contest, and Boyle remains without a definitive return timeline. His next chance to play comes on the road, Monday in Philadelphia.

According to coach Joel Quenneville, Boyle (undisclosed) will be out "for at least the next game or so," Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

The specific nature and severity of Boyle's injury remain a mystery, but he can be considered out indefinitely for the time being. Another update on the veteran pivot, who's picked up 15 points in 39 games this campaign, should surface once he's ready to rejoin the lineup.

Boyle notched an assist, three hits and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Boyle found Aaron Ekblad exiting the penalty box midway through the second period, and Ekblad set up Frank Vatrano for the tally. Through 38 games, Boyle has a reasonable 15 points, 64 hits and 56 shots while seeing mostly bottom-six minutes.

Boyle's sixth goal of the season ended up being the game-winner in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

The goal came off a Kings turnover at the blue line that ended with Boyle firing the puck home from in between the faceoff dots. His tally put the Panthers up 4-0 before the Kings almost managed a comeback with three straight goals in only 5:38. Boyle now has 14 points in 35 games this season.

Boyle picked up an assist and two shots in a 5-2 win over the Canucks on Thursday.

After sitting out the last two games with an upper-body injury, Boyle was right back in it Thursday with an assist on Mark Pysyk's goal three minutes into the first period. He has five goals, 13 points and 53 hits in 33 games.

Boyle (upper body) will draw into Friday's game against the Stars, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Boyle will rejoin the lines after just one game on the sidelines. While his return will shore up some depth among the Panthers' lines, he's likely nothing more than a lineup filler for DFS purposes and is likely unowned in many season-long fantasy formats.

Boyle (upper body) will be a game-time call versus Dallas on Friday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Boyle was stuck in a nine-game pointless streak prior to getting hurt and missing Monday's clash with Ottawa. The 34-year-old got off to a strong start to the season with eight points in 15 outings but has floundered since. The center likely won't be jumping up to a top-six role any time soon, and he'll need to start adding some depth scoring if the Panthers are going to compete for a playoff spot.

Boyle was held out of Monday's contest against Ottawa with an upper-body injury, Alain Poupart of NHL.com reports.

It's unclear how severe Boyle's injury is but the Panthers have a few days off before Friday's game against Ottawa. Denis Malgin and Dominic Toninato will center the bottom six in his absence.

Boyle did not participate in warmups Monday and is expected to miss the game against Ottawa, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

It's unclear if Boyle is injured or if he's a late healthy scratch. The 34-year-old forward is stuck in a nine-game scoring drought with a minus-6 rating during that stretch. An update on his status should be available after the game.

Boyle recorded two shots, two hits and two blocks in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

For his first month with the Panthers, Boyle was picking up points while skating in the top nine -- he had eight points in his first 15 games. But since his move to the fourth-line center role in a Nov. 24 contest with the Sabres, Boyle has been unable to find the scoresheet. That's not particularly concerning considering he was brought in to be the team's defensively-responsible fourth-line center, but his initial offensive production was a nice surprise.

Boyle picked up an assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

A scramble around the Jets' goal saw Boyle's shot turned away, but Vincent Trocheck was able to pop in the rebound to tie the game up at 2-2. Usually a center, Boyle is skating as the second-line left winger with Trocheck and Brett Connolly. He has six points through his first 11 games with the Panthers.

Boyle picked up an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Boyle has provided some surprising offense since joining the Panthers with four points in seven games. With Vincent Trocheck out with a lower-body injury, Boyle has been centering the second line, which has definitely boosted his numbers. His 13:51 of average ice time is the highest total of his career since 2012. Once Trocheck is healthy, Boyle will shift down to the third line, so don't expect this offensive output to continue.

Boyle scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Canucks.

Boyle has slotted in as the third-line center for the Panthers with Vincent Trocheck (lower body) out, and it's worked wonders for their depth scoring. Boyle has three points in four appearances, as well as eight hits, seven blocked shots and 11 shots on goal. The 34-year-old shouldn't be relied on too much for scoring purposes, but the current hot streak could make him worth a look in deeper formats.

Boyle scored a goal and an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

He put together a strong performance overall, adding three shots, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating to his line. Boyle had gone scoreless in his first two games for Florida, but the veteran forward appears to be quickly rounding into form.
