Panthers' Aaron Ekblad: Making progress
Ekblad (upper body) skated before Monday's practice and felt better than he thought he would, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Ekblad has missed the last five games, and it remains unclear if he will play against Anaheim on Tuesday. Still, head coach Paul Maurice believes the 28-year-old defender will return during Florida's four-game road trip. Ekblad has generated two goals, 20 points, 76 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and 59 hits through 41 appearances this season. Tobias Bjornfot has been filling in on the blue line due to Ekblad's absence.

Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Ends slump with helper
Nosek notched an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
The helper ended an 11-game point drought for Nosek. He set up Jesper Boqvist for the opening tally at 11:22 of the second period. The 32-year-old Nosek has been a bottom-six fixture for the Panthers this season, giving him limited opportunities to contribute on offense. He's at six points, 28 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 35 appearances while averaging a meager 9:16 of ice time.

Panthers' Gustav Forsling: Finishes win with empty-netter
Forsling scored an empty-net goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Forsling has two goals and two helpers over nine outings in January. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to handle more responsibility while Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is out of the lineup. Forsling is at seven goals, 18 points, 123 shots on net, 43 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating through 47 appearances. Even once Ekblad is healthy, Forsling is likely to remain in a top-pairing role for his defensive performance.

Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Eight points in last 10 games
Boqvist scored a goal Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Ducks.
Boqvist drove in on John Gibson at 11:22 of the second period and scored his career-high 11th goal on a wrister that trickled through the netminder. He has six goals, two assists and 17 shots in his last 10 games after putting up 11 points in his first 34 outings. Couple this recent uptick in offense with his 102 hits in 44 games, and Boqvist is suddenly relevant in formats that count these secondary categories.

Panthers' Anton Lundell: Goals in back-to-back games
Lundell scored a goal Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Ducks.
He now has a goal in each of his last two games after putting up just one across his previous 21 appearances. Still, Lundell has seven points, including five assists, and 19 shots in his last 10 contests. His game is warm enough to help in deep formats, as he's on pace to top 50 points for the first time in his career.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Second shutout of season
Knight made 34 saves in a 3-0 win over the Ducks on Saturday. He also had an assist.
It was his second shutout of the season and fifth of his career. Knight's assist came on an empty-net goal moments after he almost scored an empty-netter himself. He's rung up three straight wins, and he has allowed just 12 goals in his last six starts (4-2-0) after surrendering 10 goals over two games to start December. Knight's game seems to be sharpening. Drop him into your paint if he's designated to start.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Tending twine Saturday
Knight will patrol the home crease versus Anaheim on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Knight is starting to turn his season around after winning his last two starts, allowing three goals on 58 shots in victories over Pittsburgh and New Jersey. He is 8-6-1 with a 2.60 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 17 appearances this season. Look for Knight to get two starts next week as the Panthers play a pair of back-to-back games during a four-game road trip to California and Vegas. The Ducks sit 32nd in the league with 2.42 goals per game in 2024-25.

Panthers' Aaron Ekblad: Not available Saturday
Ekblad (undisclosed) will be out of the lineup versus Anaheim on Saturday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Ekblad will miss his fifth consecutive game Saturday. Coach Paul Maurice expects Ekblad to return on their four-game road trip beginning Tuesday in Anaheim and ending Sunday in Vegas. Ekblad has two goals, 18 assists, 76 shots on goal, 59 hits and 55 blocked shots through 41 appearances this season.

Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Not playing Saturday
Gadjovich (upper body) is practicing in a non-contact jersey, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site, and will miss Saturday's tilt versus Anaheim.
Gadjovich has already missed 12 games after being hurt versus the Blues on Dec. 20, and he will sit out at least one more outing. The 26-year-old has one goal in 18 games this season. He could return as early as Tuesday in a rematch against the Ducks.

Panthers' Dmitry Kulikov: Plucks apple in loss
Kulikov registered an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Kulikov ended a seven-game slump when he helped out on an Anton Lundell tally. The 34-year-old Kulikov has handled top-four minutes for much of the season, and he's playing an even larger role since Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is out. Kulikov has produced nine points, 49 shots on net, 81 hits, 47 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 46 appearances, so his fantasy value is limited to deep formats with an emphasis on non-scoring production.

Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Picks up helper
Samoskevich registered an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Amid ongoing lineup shuffling, Samoskevich has been given a chance to handle a middle-six role. He was on the second line Thursday and helped out on an Evan Rodrigues tally, ending Samoskevich's seven-game point drought. The 22-year-old rookie has 13 points, 52 shots on net, 59 hits and a minus-1 rating through 41 appearances while adding a little grit wherever he lines up.

Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Lights lamp in loss
Rodrigues scored a goal on three shots and added four PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Rodrigues has two goals and an assist over his last four outings. Despite that production, he's been sliding down the lineup, with a fourth-line assignment and just 11:30 of ice time in Thursday's defeat. The Panthers' offense as a whole has been a little inconsistent lately, leading to head coach Paul Maurice trying different things with his forward combinations. Rodrigues is up to 20 points, 85 shots on net, 71 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 46 appearances.

Panthers' Spencer Knight: Makes relief appearance
Knight stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Knight wasn't tested much in 22:02 of ice time. The Red Wings scored an empty-netter while Knight was pulled for an extra attacker. For the season, Knight is 8-6-1 with a 2.60 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 appearances. He hasn't had much of a chance to steal playing time, but Bobrovsky has a poor 1-4-1 record over six outings in January, so this could be Knight's best chance to claim a larger share of the crease.

Panthers' Anton Lundell: Second goal in 22 games
Lundell scored his 10th goal of the season Thursday in a 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Lundell hadn't put up a goal over his last six appearances, and Thursday's goal was just his second over his last 22 outings. Lundell has always had a reputation of a potential Selke winner -- his defense is that good. However, he needs to put up more offense, and that's tough with mediocre skating and a checking line focus. Still, Lundell does have 29 points in 45 games, so even with this slowdown, he could beat his career-best mark in points (44).

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Pulled from Thursday's matchup
Bobrovsky was pulled after giving up four goals on 15 shots in a 5-2 loss to Detroit.
Despite Thursday's early departure and recent slump, Bobrovsky will likely be fine in the long run. However, this is the third consecutive game that he's given up four goals, and he's gone 1-4-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .894 save percentage over his last six appearances. It's unclear whether fatigue is playing into his struggles, but after his strong season last year, Bobrovksy's GAA has ballooned up to 2.86, and his save percentage has dropped to .896.

Panthers' Jonah Gadjovich: Still out Thursday
Gadjovich (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Red Wings, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Gadjovich didn't play during the Panthers' most recent road trip and his absence will reach 12 games Thursday. He was set to be evaluated again prior to Thursday's contest, but the results of that check-up have not been disclosed yet.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Facing Red Wings
Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease versus Detroit on Thursday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Bobrovsky has struggled in his last two starts, going 0-1-1 while allowing eight goals on 47 shots (.830 save percentage). Overall, Bobrovsky is 18-10-2 with one shutout, a 2.78 GAA and an .899 save percentage this season. Bobrovsky had plenty of success last season against the Red Wings, as he was 3-0-1 with a pair of shutouts, allowing only five goals on 94 shots (.947 save percentage). The Red Wings are averaging 2.86 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks 23rd in the NHL.
