Jake Walman - Questionable against CanesWalman (illness) is a doubt ahead of Friday's matchup versus Carolina, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ImpactWalman has just one practice under his belt after having missed the last three games due to an illness. Still, the fact that the defenseman was able to get back onto the ice is certainly a step in the right direction. The 27-year-old Toronto native needs only one more point to match the career high he set last season and will reach the 10-goal threshold with just one more tally.

Alex Lyon - Guarding cage FridayLyon will be in goal against Carolina on the road Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ImpactLyon continues to earn his share of the net, posting a 5-0-1 record, 2.62 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last six outings. At this point, there is little reason to expect the Minnesota native to suddenly see a downturn in opportunities, so fantasy players should expect him to continue getting the nod ahead of James Reimer.

Aleksander Barkov - Game-time decision FridayBarkov (lower body) will be a game-time call against Minnesota on Friday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
ImpactBarkov could return after missing just one game due to his lower-body issue. While the 28-year-old center is stuck in a 13-game goal drought, he has racked up 17 helpers over that stretch, including eight with the man advantage. If given the all-clear, Barkov figures to rejoin the No. 1 power-play unit in addition to retaking his spot in the top six.

Sergei Bobrovsky - Starting FridayBobrovsky will get the home start versus Minnesota on Friday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
ImpactBobrovsky is 0-1-1 after seeing his seven-game winning streak come to an end Saturday. He is having a stellar season, going 21-10-2 with a 2.46 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Bobrovsky has rewarded his fantasy managers this season, as he is a top-five goaltender. Bobrovsky will take on a tired Wild team, who will cross the state after facing Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Sam Reinhart - Makes history WednesdayReinhart scored a shorthanded goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
ImpactThe 28-year-old opened the scoring early in the second period, moving full speed into the Detroit zone to take a pass from Anton Lundell and snapping the puck past Alex Lyon. Reinhart has found the back of the net in an incredible eight straight games, and at least one goal in each contest has come either on the power play or on the penalty kill -- setting an NHL record for consecutive games with special-teams tallies. Reinhart also set a new franchise record with his eight-game goal streak, surpassing Pavel Bure's seven-game streak from 2000-01. The accolades don't stop there -- Reinhart has already tied his personal best for goals in a season with 33, needing only 44 games to do it, and he has exactly 500 points for his career.
