Dishes two helpers Montour provided two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Montour assisted on second-period tallies by Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe. This outing snapped a four-game point drought for Montour, who had just five points over 13 appearances in December. The 29-year-old blueliner hasn't been anywhere near his 73-point pace from last season after missing the start of the campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery. He's up to eight points (four on the power play) with 51 shots on net, 20 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 22 appearances.

Strikes on power play Bennett scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Bennett tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, and it was all Panthers after that. He saw 18:43 of ice time Thursday, his third-highest total since the start of December, in part due to Aleksander Barkov (upper body) leaving after the first period. Bennett could be in line for a move to the top line, though Anton Lundell is also in content for that spot if Barkov misses time. Bennett has seven goals, 13 points, 59 shots on net, 49 PIM, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 26 appearances.

Pair of points in win Tkachuk scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Both of his points came on the power play, with his goal being his first power-play marker of the campaign. The winger has gotten back to his usual level with 10 points over his last nine contests. For the season, he's still well off the mark with seven tallies, 30 points (12 on the power play), 132 shots on net, 42 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 38 outings. Tkachuk is shooting a mere 5.3 percent -- after back-to-back 40-goal, 100-point campaigns, positive regression should be in his future.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Winning streak up to five games Bobrovsky allowed one goal on 27 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Bobrovsky has won five starts in a row, allowing a total of nine goals in that span. His lone misstep Thursday was Pavel Dorofeyev's tally early in the first period. Bobrovsky is up 19-9-1 with a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 29 appearances this season. He's turned back the clock at age 35 to be one of the top goalies in the league. Next up is a tough challenge Saturday versus the Avalanche.

Hurt in Thursday's game Rodrigues (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Impact Rodrigues was hurt early in the game and was able to return before the end of the first period. He then stayed in the locker room at the start of the second before he was officially ruled out. The Panthers lost both Rodrigues and Aleksander Barkov (upper body) in this game, so the team may need to make a recall from AHL Charlotte prior to Saturday's game in Colorado.

Out for rest of game Barkov (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Impact Barkov took an elbow up high in the first period and won't finish the contest. He saw just 4:54 of ice time prior to his exit. With Evan Rodrigues (lower body) also leaving the game hurt, the Panthers will finish with just 10 forwards, which may prompt a roster move prior to Saturday's game versus the Avalanche.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Set to face Golden Knights Bobrovsky will start on the road against Vegas on Thursday.

Impact Bobrovsky has won his last four starts while saving 102 of 110 shots (.927 save percentage). That gives him an 18-9-1 record, 2.44 GAA and .912 save percentage in 28 outings this season. Bobrovsky stopped 23 of 25 shots in a 4-2 win against Vegas on Dec. 23, but the 22-11-5 Golden Knights are always a challenging opponent.

Agrees to two-year extension Balinskis signed a two-year contract extension with Florida on Wednesday.

Impact Balinskis is playing through a one-year, entry-level deal and would have become an unrestricted free agent this summer had he not agreed to an extension. The 27-year-old, who is currently with AHL Charlotte, has two points in 18 contests with Florida as well as seven points in seven minor-league outings this season.

In concussion protocol Cousins is in the concussion protocol, coach Paul Maurice told Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site on Wednesday.

Impact Cousins was injured when he was hit from behind by Arizona's Jason Zucker during Tuesday's 4-1 victory. Cousins has two goals, five points, 45 hits and 13 blocks in 37 outings this year. Ryan Lomberg will likely move up to the third line if Cousins can't play Thursday.

Impact Cousins played just one shift in the third period after being hit from behind by Arizona's Jason Zucker. The 30-year-old Cousins has played in all 37 games for the Panthers this season but is currently mired in a 14-game pointless streak and hasn't scored since Nov. 6 versus Columbus, a stretch of 26 contests. Ryan Lomberg will likely move into Cousins' third-line role if he can't play.

Fights, scores Tuesday Forsling had a goal and 17 penalty minutes in Florida's 4-1 win over Arizona on Tuesday.

Impact Forsling fought Arizona's Jason Zucker late in the second period, drawing an instigator minor penalty, fighting major and 10-minute misconduct. After serving his time, Forsling collected an empty-net goal at 17:39 of the third frame. That game highlights the type of player the 27-year-old defenseman is for Florida: A physical presence who also chips in offensively. Forsling has five goals, 13 points, a plus-21 rating, 33 PIM, 83 shots, 39 hits and 51 blocks in 37 outings this year.

Gets two points vs. Arizona Verhaeghe supplied a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Arizona on Tuesday.

Impact Verhaeghe earned his fourth multi-point game in the span of just five contests, giving him four goals and eight points in that stretch. The 28-year-old now has 19 goals and 34 points in 37 appearances this season. Verhaeghe is proving that his breakout 73-point 2022-23 campaign was just the beginning while serving on the first power-play unit and as a member of Florida's top-six forward corps.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Ends nine-game goal drought Tkachuk contributed a goal in a 4-1 win over Arizona on Tuesday.

Impact Tkachuk ended a nine-game goal-scoring slump, though he did register an impressive seven assists during that drought. Still, the 26-year-old's six goals and 28 points in 37 contests this season pales in comparison to his previous two campaigns in which he scored at least 40 goals and 100 points each year. Tkachuk's shooting percentage stands at just 4.7 this campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see that rise in the second half of 2023-24.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot with goal Tuesday Reinhart found the back of the net in a 4-1 victory over Arizona on Tuesday.

Impact It's the latest tally in what is shaping up to be a career season for Reinhart. He's already collected 24 goals in 37 contests, putting him on pace to shatter his career high of 33 markers, which was set in 2021-22. The 28-year-old's 25.5 shooting percentage does look unsustainably high, but he hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet -- Reinhart has seven goals over his last seven appearances. In addition to contributing goals at a fantastic rate, Reinhart has recorded 21 assists, a plus-16 rating, 13 PIM and 94 shots in 2023-24.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Extends winning streak Bobrovsky stopped 21 of 22 shots in a 4-1 win over Arizona on Tuesday.

Impact Bobrovsky surrendered a shorthanded goal to Alex Kerfoot early in the third period, but that stood as his only blemish. The 35-year-old goaltender has won his last four starts while posting a 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage. He's been having a strong campaign overall with an 18-9-1 record, 2.44 GAA and .912 save percentage through 28 outings. Bobrovsky will likely be in net again Thursday as he looks to continue his winning streak on the road versus Vegas.
