Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Still being evaluated
Tkachuk (lower body) is being evaluated ahead of Monday's 4 Nations Face-Off game versus Sweden, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Sunday.
Tkachuk missed most of the third period in Saturday's 3-1 win over Canada. It's unclear if he will play versus Sweden, and he could sit out the matchup because Team USA has already clinched a spot in Thursday's championship game. Tkachuk has two goals and one assist through two outings at the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Suffers lower-body injury
Tkachuk sustained a lower-body injury in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Canada, coach Mike Sullivan told Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
Tkachuk appeared to sustain the injury in the third period. His assessment of the situation is more optimistic -- he claimed after the game that whatever was bothering him was "no concern at all," per Mollie Walker of the New York Post. Despite Tkachuk's statement, Sullivan isn't sure if the 27-year-old forward will play Monday versus Sweden. Team USA has already earned a spot in Thursday's championship for the 4 Nations Face-Off, so Tkachuk could sit out Monday's matchup for rest, especially if he is anything less than 100 percent.

Panthers' Anton Lundell: Gets goal for Finns at 4 Nations
Lundell scored a goal for Finland in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.
Lundell went five-hole on starter Filip Gustavsson off a pretty feed on a 2-on-1 in the first period. He had a big game -- he fired four shots, leveled three hits and blocked two shots. The 23-year-old Lundell might not have the fleetest feet, but he knows how to use his size, strength and smarts to control the ice. Playing in this best-on-best tourney will undoubtedly increase his confidence.

Barkov scored a goal for Finland on Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.
Barkov tapped in the game-tying goal on a net-front battle in the second period. The Finnish captain played 19:50 and finished with two shots, two blocked shots and one hit. Barkov had been held off the scoresheet in Finland's first game, but he had come into the tourney on a six-game, 11-point streak (three goals, eight assists).

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Best player on ice in USA win
Tkachuk had two goals, one assist and eight shots in a 6-1 Team USA win over Finland on Thursday in Montreal.
Both goals came on the power play, and he and brother Brady Tkachuk looked fantastic when they were united on a line in the middle of the game. Matthew Tkachuk was named the Player-of-the-Game for his performance. He came into the game on a high -- he was riding a six-game goal streak with 13 points (seven goals, six assists) dating back to Jan. 29. Next up, it's Team Canada on Saturday night.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Moves past illness
Forsling (illness) was on the ice for Team Sweden's practice session Tuesday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Forsling missed Monday's practice, but he skated on the second pairing with Rasmus Dahlin on Tuesday. Forsling's return to full strength will most likely push Rasmus Andersson out of the starting lineup. Team Sweden will take on Team Canada in the first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament Wednesday.

Panthers' Jack Devine: Displaying playmaking expertise
Devine currently leads the NCAA with 33 assists in 28 games with the University of Denver.
In addition to his 33 helpers, Devine has chipped in six goals while leading the Pioneers in points this season. Once the Illinois native wraps up his senior season with Denver, he could make the jump to the Panthers' NHL roster for the final few games of the NHL regular season, assuming he signs an entry-level contract.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Dealing with illness
Forsling (illness) missed Team Sweden's practice Monday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Forsling is expected to return to the ice for Tuesday's session ahead of Wednesday's 4 Nations Face-Off opener versus Team Canada. Sweden is deep down the left side, with Victor Hedman, Rasmus Dahlin and Mattias Ekholm, which could make Forsling a healthy scratch when the tournament begins. However, the 28-year-old Forsling could be a candidate to replace Jonas Brodin on the top pairing with Hedman.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Cruises to win Saturday
Bobrovsky stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Senators.
Bobrovsky gave up the opening goal to Brady Tkachuk at 6:38 of the first period, but a four-goal second period lifted the Panthers to the win. This was Bobrovksy's fifth win over his last six outings, and he's allowed no more than two goals in any of those victories. In that span, he's been mostly sharing the goaltending duties with Spencer Knight, who has been pretty good himself lately. Bobrovsky's 23-12-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .902 save percentage this season, but his ratios are a 2.35 GAA and .915 save percentage since the start of January. The Panthers' schedule resumes Feb. 22 with a home game versus the light-scoring Kraken.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Scoring pace lagging this season
Forsling scored a goal Saturday in a 5-1 win over Ottawa.
Forsling lofted a shot inside the blue line that Linus Ullmark should have had for his first goal in 10 games. Forsling has eight tallies in 57 appearances this season (21 points). He will be lucky to hit the 30-point mark this season after averaging 39 over his previous three campaigns. If it's any consolation, Forsling is pounding pucks at the net and could hit the 200 mark. That may help some fantasy managers.

Panthers' Anton Lundell: First goal in six games
Lundell tallied a shorthanded goal in a 5-1 win over the Senators.
It went into the empty net but still counts the same as any other goal. Lundell ended a five-game goal drought with his second shortie this season. With 37 points in 57 games, Lundell is on pace to establish a new career mark in points. He's already set a new personal best for power-play points (six) in 2024-25.

Panthers' Sam Bennett: Three-game, four-point streak
Bennett scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over Ottawa.
He gave the Panthers a 4-1 lead near the end of the second period with a one-timer from the right dot off a feed from Matthew Tkachuk. Bennett is on a modest three-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists) with 13 shots. Bennett is shooting at a career rate this season, and he's on pace to match his career-best 173 hits, which he set last season. He'll help in multi-category formats.

Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Six-game, nine-point streak
Reinhart delivered an assist Saturday in a 5-1 win over the Senators.
Reinhart is on a six-game, nine-point streak, but more importantly, he hit the 600-point mark in his NHL career. He's having another fantastic season, with 31 goals and 31 assists in 57 games. Reinhart's 20.8 shooting percentage is below last season's unsustainable 24.5 percent that netted him 57 goals, but it's still an impressive pace and a sign that 2023-24's pace wasn't a fluke. He's on pace for a 45-goal, 90-point and 214-shot result this year.

Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Six-game, 11-point streak
Barkov scored a goal and added a power-play assist in a 5-1 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
He knocked down Matthew Tkachuk's fluttering point shot in the slot and past Linus Ullmark to put the Panthers up 2-1 at 11:36 of the second frame. Barkov's current point streak now stands at six games and 11 points (three goals, eight assists). During that span, he has five power-play points, including four assists. Barkov is on pace for his 10th straight 20-goal season, and his winning percentage at the dot continues to improve. He won eight-of-14 faceoffs on Saturday and has a career-best 59.4 percent success rate this season.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Goal streak at six games
Tkachuk scored a goal and assisted on two others in a 5-1 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
Tkachuk fired a team-high eight shots, but his brother Brady Tkachuk took the game crown with 11. Still, the Floridian brother clearly won the battle. Tkachuk extended his goal streak to six games (seven goals, six assists), and he has 22 goals, 35 assists and 156 shots this season. Thirty of those shots have come over his last six outings. Tkachuk will represent the United States, along with Brady, in 4 Nations Face-Off, which starts Feb. 12.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Starting against Ottawa
Bobrovsky will serve as the starting netminder at home against the Senators on Saturday.
Bobrovsky snapped a four-game winning streak Tuesday against the Capitals, as he allowed four goals on 24 shots (.833 save percentage) en route to the loss. However, he'll have an opportunity to bounce back in the Panthers' final game before the 4 Nations Face-Off. Bobrovsky started on the road against the Senators in the second game of the regular season, and he took the loss while turning aside 28 of 30 shots (.933 save percentage).

Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Unavailable Saturday
Samoskevich (upper body) will not be in the lineup Saturday versus Ottawa, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.
Samoskevich scored in his return to action Thursday, but he managed to play only 6:43 before getting hurt once again early in the second period. Samoskevich has eight goals and 17 points in 48 appearances this season. Jonah Gadjovich will replace Samoskevich in the lineup Saturday.

Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Adds helper in win
Reinhart tallied the game-winning assist in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Blues.
Reinhart's assist was a shot tipped in by Matthew Tkachuk with just under 12 seconds remaining in regulation. The 29-year-old winger is up to 30 assists, 61 points and 147 shots on net in 56 appearances this season. With the helper, Reinhart joined Leon Draisaitl, Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele as the only four players in the NHL with 30-plus goals and assists this season. Playing on Florida's top line and power-play unit, Reinhart has incredible fantasy value for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign while chasing his career-high of 94 points from a year ago.
