Pyotr Kochetkov - Starting SaturdayKochetkov is expected to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

ImpactKochetkov has a 0-3-0 record, 4.31 GAA and .836 save percentage in three outings with Carolina this season. Nevertheless, With Frederik Andersen (blood clotting) unavailable and Antti Raanta struggling -- he has a 3.02 GAA and an .877 save percentage in seven contests this season -- there's an opportunity for Kochetkov to earn some playing time if he rebounds. The Lightning rank fourth offensively with 3.79 goals per game though, so this contest will be a difficult challenge for the 24-year-old goaltender.

Rasmus Asplund - Sent downAsplund was assigned to AHL Charlotte on Saturday.

ImpactAsplund, who has been a healthy scratch for five straight games, hasn't made his Florida debut yet. He has two goals and five points in seven AHL contests this campaign.

Sam Reinhart - Third straight game with two pointsReinhart supplied two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

ImpactReinhart amassed six points between the last three games against the Blue Jackets, Capitals, and Hurricanes, respectively. Thanks, in large part, to his dominance of Metropolitan Division foes, Reinhart leads his team in points with nine goals and eight assists through 13 contests. Better yet, the B.C. native is averaging a career-high 21:03 of ice time, as the Panthers count on him in all situations.

Uvis Balinskis - Records first NHL goalBalinskis scored his first career NHL goal in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

ImpactWith a little over a minute left in the first period, Balinskis joined the rush and found himself alone to Antti Raanta's right, and the 27-year-old rookie made no mistake when Aleksander Barkov slipped a pass to him through two defenders. It's Balinskis' first point in 11 games, but it might end up being the high point of his time on the Florida blue line, as Brandon Montour (shoulder) is closing in on his return to the lineup and Aaron Ekblad (shoulder) may not be too far behind him.

Matthew Tkachuk - Two-point night FridayTkachuk produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

ImpactHe got the Panthers on the board early in the first period, knifing through the slot with speed and taking a pass from Carter Verhaeghe that he deposited past a sprawling Antti Raanta. Tkachuk extended his point streak to five games in the process, and the 25-year-old has three goals and 13 points in 13 contests -- a solid start, but a little below the pace he needs to deliver his third straight season with 100-plus points.

Aleksander Barkov - Hot streak continuesBarkov scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

ImpactHe also chipped in five shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Barkov has a tidy three-game goal streak and four-game point streak going, and on the season the 28-year-old has five goals and 14 points in 12 games. As per usual with Barkov, he's a consistent point-a-game or better contributor -- the only question is how many times he'll suit up, as he hasn't topped 68 games played since 2018-19 and has already missed one contest this season with an illness.
