Panthers' Jack Studnicka: Summoned from AHL
Studnicka was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday.
Studnicka hasn't earned a point in 18 NHL outings this season while posting 16 shots on goal, six blocked shots and 19 hits. He has eight goals and 14 assists in 34 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Panthers' Seth Jones: Notches helper in loss
Jones posted an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
This was Jones' first point in five contests since he returned from a 26-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old defenseman should continue to get steady top-four minutes, but the Panthers' weaker team offense this season limits his fantasy appeal. The blueliner has earned 25 points, 82 shots on net, 42 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 45 appearances.

Panthers' Aaron Ekblad: Ties game late in loss
Ekblad scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
Ekblad had gone 28 games without a goal, picking up a modest nine assists in that span. He also snapped an eight-game point drought with the third-period tally, which briefly tied the game at 2-2. The defenseman has four goals, 26 points, 94 shots on net, 83 hits, 101 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a minus-6 rating across 69 appearances this season, down from 33 points in 56 regular-season outings a year ago.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Provides late spark in loss
Tkachuk scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
Both points came in the third period as Tkachuk led a rally from a 2-0 deficit, but the comeback fell short thanks to Joel Eriksson Ek's tally with just five seconds left in regulation. It was Tkachuk's fifth multi-point performance in March, and through 12 games on the month he's racked up five goals and 15 points.

Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Takes third straight loss
Tarasov stopped 47 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
The 27-year-old netminder did everything he could to keep Florida in the game as he faced a season-high 50 shots, but Tarasov couldn't corral a rebound late, leading to Joel Eriksson Ek's game-winner with just five seconds left in the third period. Tarasov has lost three straight starts and has only one win in his last eight outings, going 1-7-0 with a 4.04 GAA and .881 save percentage.

Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Likely done for season
Rodrigues broke a finger in Thursday's game versus the Wild and is likely done for the season, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.
It's not yet clear if Rodrigues will require surgery. However, with just three weeks left in the season, he is not expected to return anyway, though his recovery timeline could be longer if surgery is required. Rodrigues will likely be okay by the start of 2026-27, which will be a contract year for the forward. He produced 31 points in 69 outings this season.

Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Suffers upper-body injury
Rodrigues won't return to Thursday's game against Minnesota after sustaining an upper-body injury.
Rodrigues logged just 49 seconds of ice time before exiting the game. If he can't play Saturday against the Islanders, then the Panthers might need to call up a forward from the minors. However, Sam Reinhart (foot) and Mackie Samoskevich (neck) might both be available Saturday, and if at least one of them can play, then Florida would be able to dress 12 healthy forwards, even if Rodrigues ends up missing the tilt.

Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Still sidelined Thursday
Reinhart (foot) won't play Thursday versus the Wild, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Reinhart is set to miss his sixth straight game while battling a number of issues, including a foot problem. Given the Panthers' place in the standings, there will be no rush to get Reinhart back in action, and he continues to lack a timeline for his return. The Panthers play a back-to-back versus the Islanders and Rangers over the weekend, and it's unclear if Reinhart will be available for either of those games.

Panthers' Cole Schwindt: Could return for Tuesday
Schwindt (lower body) has resumed skating and could be back in the lineup as early as Tuesday versus Ottawa, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Thursday.
Schwindt will miss Thursday's tilt versus Minnesota, as well as a pair of weekend games in New York against the Rangers and Islanders. Schwindt has already missed 12 games ahead of Thursday's contest with an injury suffered versus Toronto on Feb. 26. He has three goals and an assist in 22 games this season.

Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Won't play Thursday
Samoskevich (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wild, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Samoskevich was believed to have a chance to return for Thursday's matchup, but he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive game. However, head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday that Samoskevich is close to returning, so he'll presumably be in the mix to suit up Saturday against the Islanders or Sunday against the Rangers.

Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Starting Thursday
Tarasov will guard the home cage versus Minnesota on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Tarasov has allowed 10 goals on 61 shots (.836 save percentage) in his last two starts, both road losses. He returns home Thursday, where he is 5-3-2 with a 2.46 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 11 contests. Overall, Tarasov is 9-12-2 with a 3.01 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 24 games this season. The Wild are generating 3.22 goals per game in 2025-26, 12th in the NHL.

Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Pots goal in shootout win
Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.
Luostarinen earned his first goal and point in three games since he sat out one contest during the Panthers' most recent road trip. The 27-year-old is up to nine goals, 26 points, 90 shots on net, 113 hits and 46 blocked shots over 61 outings this season. The Panthers have rotated out some veterans because their playoff hopes are all but gone. However, the team's growing injury woes will likely keep Luostarinen in the lineup unless he joins the list of unavailable players.

Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Finds twine Tuesday
Verhaeghe scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.
Verhaeghe has two goals and two assists over his last four contests. The 30-year-old is getting consistent top-six usage and power-play time, so he should be capable of finishing the year strong as long as he stays healthy. Verhaeghe is at 21 goals, 50 points, 162 shots on net, 62 hits and a minus-11 rating over 68 appearances. He's reached the 50-point mark in five straight campaigns.

Panthers' Anton Lundell: Facing multi-week absence
Head coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday that Lundell (ribs) is expected to miss approximately 2-6 weeks, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Lundell has missed the Panthers' last two games due to his rib injury, and he recently underwent an MRI. Maurice said that the results were "not good," and even though Lundell won't require surgery, he'll need some time on the shelf to recover. The early range of Lundell's timetable would allow him to return before the end of the regular season. However, the Panthers will likely elect to shut him down for the remainder of the year.

Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Might be available for Thursday
Samoskevich (neck) might be available for Thursday's game against Minnesota, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
On Monday, Samoskevich received a timetable of 7-10 days, so it would be surprising if he plays against the Wild on Thursday. The 23-year-old has six goals, 23 points, 26 PIM and 123 hits across 66 appearances in 2025-26. Samoskevich will probably serve in a middle-six capacity if he draws back into the lineup.

Panthers' Nolan Foote: Pots first goal of season
Foote scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.
In his third game of the season for the Panthers, Foote opened the scoring early in the second period by banging the puck past Joey Daccord to convert a two-on-one break. It was Foote's seventh tally in 33 career games spread over six seasons, as the 25-year-old winger has yet to win a consistent role at the top level. With Florida's forward ranks depleted by injuries and the team out of the playoff picture, he could get a longer look down the stretch after producing 14 goals and 32 points in 54 games for AHL Charlotte this season.

Panthers' Noah Gregor: Two points in Tuesday's win
Gregor scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Seattle.
After being called up from AHL Charlotte to provide some depth, Gregor made a surprising impact. He received credit for a goal that Shane Wright put into his own net. Gregor has just two goals and five points in 25 NHL games this season, and his fourth-line assignment makes a repeat performance highly unlikely for however long he's up with the big club.
