Supplies only offense in loss Luostarinen scored his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

Impact He spoiled Joel Hofer's shutout bid midway through the second period with a billiard shot -- his dump-in attempt took a strange carom off the glass right by the Panthers' bench and went straight into the net, while Hofer waited for the puck behind the cage. Three of Luostarinen's five goals on the season have come in the last seven games, but those are the checking-line winger's only points in December.

Eetu Luostarinen Scores A Bizarre Goal As The Puck Bounces Off The Glass And In

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Scores third goal of 2023-24 Luostarinen provided a goal in a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Friday.

Impact Luostarinen's marker came early in the third period and proved to be the game-winner. It was his third tally and sixth point in 26 contests this season, which is way down from his 2022-23 finish of 17 goals and 43 points in 82 appearances. That offensive decline is despite Luostarinen averaging 16:08 of ice time this year, which is roughly in line with his 15:59 last season. We're likely too deep into the season for the 25-year-old to recover to the point of matching his 2022-23 totals, but he should be able to increase his offensive pace at least somewhat as the campaign progresses.

Contributes goal Monday Luostarinen collected a goal in a 5-0 win over Ottawa on Monday.

Impact Luostarinen has two goals and five points through 21 contests this season. He's getting a solid amount of ice time with Florida -- an average of 16:11 per game going into Monday's action -- but he doesn't have a regular role on the power play. That's unlikely to change unless the Panthers run into injury troubles, which significantly limits Luostarinen's offensive potential for the 2023-24 campaign.

Deposits opening goal Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Luostarinen got his first goal of the campaign at 14:50 of the first period. The 25-year-old has made limited contributions on offense this season while skating in a middle-six role. He's up to three points 22 shots on net, 18 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances. He had 43 points in 82 appearances last year, so it's possible he could unlock more offense as the season goes on.

Nabs helper in victory Luostarinen registered an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Luostarinen has a pair of helpers representing his point total through 13 games, which leaves him far off pace to match his career-high 43 points from 2022-23. The Panthers have largely removed the Finn from the power play after he saw time in that key special-teams spot in October, a trend worth watching as the Panthers fight for supremacy in the Atlantic Division.

Practices to begin camp Luostarinen was in Group A for Thursday's first practice of training camp, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Luostarinen missed five games with a broken tibia at the end of the playoffs, but the 25-year-old appears fine now. The Finnish forward figures to be a middle-six player for much of 2023-24, though he could easily move around the lineup as a versatile forward. He had 43 points, 132 shots on goal and a plus-19 rating in 82 regular-season games last season.

Impact Luostarinen was initially expected to be fine for the series opener after suffering an injury in Game 4 versus the Hurricanes and apparently re-aggravating it at practice Friday. That won't be the case, with Zac Dalpe instead projected to join the lineup in a bottom-six role. Luostarinen can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's Game 2.

Pots game-winner in Game 6 Luostarinen scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Friday's 7-5 win over the Bruins during Game 6 of the Panthers' first-round series.

Impact Both points came in a wild third period that featured seven of the game's 12 total goals, but Luostarinen's tally was far from a fluke. After Brandon Montour intercepted a Boston clearing attempt, the 24-year-old winger collected the puck at the blue line, skated to the far faceoff circle and went top shelf with a snapshot over Linus Ullmark. Luostarinen has two goals and four points in the last five games to help Florida force an improbable Game 7 against the NHL's best team during the regular season, a showdown which will come Sunday in Boston.
