Panthers' Justin Sourdif: Recalled by Florida
Sourdif was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.
Sourdif made three appearances for the Panthers last year, but he hasn't yet appeared in an NHL game this season. However, he'll enter the lineup for Tuesday's game in Nashville since Eetu Luostarinen (personal) will be unavailable.

Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Skipped trip to Music City
Luostarinen won't travel with the team for Tuesday's matchup with Nashville while awaiting the birth of his child, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Luostarinen has scored just once in his last 16 outings while adding three assists, 31 hits and 20 shots. With Luostarinen on the shelf, the Panthers will recall a forward from AHL Charlotte, perhaps Rasmus Asplund or Patrick Giles. It remains to be seen if Luostarinen will be available for Thursday's game against the Oilers.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Likely to miss time
Tkachuk -- who is reportedly dealing with a groin problem -- is expected to be sidelined long term but will suit up again this year, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Monday.
While the Panthers haven't offered a specific timeline, fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect Tkachuk back on the ice until sometime in March. Given that prognosis, it seems almost certain the 27-year-old winger will be designated for injured reserve. If the Scottsdale native is out until the postseason, it could free up significant cap space for Florida ahead of the trade deadline as well, if the team elects to put him on long-term injured reserve.

Panthers' Niko Mikkola: Supplies assist Saturday
Mikkola logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.
Mikkola has four helpers over his last 11 outings. The 28-year-old defenseman has secured a career year for the second season in a row, racking up 18 points with 81 shots on net, 88 hits, 74 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 53 appearances. That level of all-around production is enough to make Mikkola an option in deep fantasy formats, though he's unlikely to ever be a big-time scorer.

Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Pots lone goal in loss
Luostarinen scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.
Luostarinen ended a 15-game goal drought with the tally. In that span, he was limited to three assists, though he added 29 hits and a plus-5 rating. Luostarinen is a role player on the Panthers' third line, adding some physicality and a defensive mindset. He's up to 20 points, 64 shots on net, 122 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances. He's likely to land closer to last year's 27-point regular season than the 43-point effort he had in 2022-23.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Downed by Kraken
Bobrovsky turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Seattle.
The veteran netminder played well but didn't get much help from his offense, and a Jared McCann tally in the third period on a 3-on-2 rush proved to be the difference. Bobrovsky has given up two goals or fewer in six of his last seven starts, a stretch in which he's gone 5-2-0 with a dazzling 1.74 GAA and .933 save percentage.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Slated to start Saturday
Bobrovsky is expected to defend the home crease versus Seattle on Saturday, according to George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
Bobrovsky has played better lately, as he has been getting plenty of rest, sharing the crease with Spencer Knight. Bobrovsky is 5-1-0 with a 1.68 GAA and a .937 save percentage since Jan. 25, and getting the last two weeks off should certainly help his cause. Bobrovsky is 23-12-2 overall, with a 2.66 GAA and a .902 save percentage. The Kraken are generating 2.95 goals per game, 15th in the NHL.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Doubtful for Saturday
Head coach Paul Maurice said Friday that Tkachuk (lower body) is unlikely to play versus Seattle on Saturday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Tkachuk sat out the third period and overtime in Canada's 3-2 victory over the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off on Thursday. Tkachuk has 22 goals, 35 assists, 156 shots on goal and 84 hits across 52 games this season. He should be considered day-to-day for now, and he could return as early Tuesday in Nashville.

Panthers' Sam Bennett: Gets goal in 4 Nations Face-Off win
Bennett scored a goal in Canada's 3-2 overtime win over the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off Final on Thursday.
Bennett didn't dress in Canada's first game of the tournament, but he slotted in for Game 2 against Team USA and never sat out again. On the goal, he took a slick feed from Mitch Marner and roofed the puck over Connor Hellebuyck's shoulder from below the left face-off circle. Bennett is a gritty center with 50-point upside. However, he profiles more as a big-game playoff type, rather than as a consistent fantasy performer.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Still hampered by lower-body issue
Tkachuk's lower-body injury prevented him from playing in the third period and overtime of Thursday's game versus Team Canada, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Nothing official from Team USA was revealed, but in an interview with Tkachuk's brother, Brady Tkachuk, it appears the 27-year-old Florida winger could miss time. More information should be known once he returns to the Panthers for a more thorough evaluation, but there is a clear risk of Tkachuk being out of action during the playoff race that fantasy managers should be preparing for.

Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Ready to rock
Head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday that Samoskevich (upper body) is "100 percent ready to go," Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Samoskevich missed four of the Panthers' five games before the break due to his injury, scoring against the Blues in his lone action during February. He has eight goals and nine assists with 74 hits across 48 appearances with Florida this season.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Should be ready by Thursday
Tkachuk (lower body) is expected to be available for Thursday's 4 Nations Face-Off Final against Team Canada, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Tuesday.
Tkachuk did not suit up for Team USA's 2-1 loss to Sweden on Monday. The star winger's availability, along with Brady Tkachuk (lower body) and Auston Matthews (upper body), will be key components to potential success for the Americans. Tkachuk has potted two goals and added a helper through two games in the tournament.

Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Canadian breakout with three apples
Reinhart picked up three assists for Canada in a 5-3 win over Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday.
Reinhart slotted onto the top line with Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon, and the results were electric. Mack had two goals, and Sid put up a goal and an assist. The move is exactly what Reinhart needed to jump start his tourney. This looks like a trio that will stick together for Thursday's championship game against the U.S.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Ruled out Monday
Tkachuk (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Team USA against Sweden on Monday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Tkachuk was limited to just 11:10 of ice time against Canada on Saturday -- though part of that was the result of him spending five minutes in the penalty box after dropping the gloves with Brandon Hagel. With Tkachuk out Monday, Chris Kreider will finally get his chance to suit up for Team USA. According to brother Brady Tkachuk, Matthew is expected to be ready to play in Thursday's 4 Nations Final, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

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.
