Contributes power-play assist Ekman-Larsson posted a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Ekman-Larsson set up Sam Reinhart's second-period tally. Over his last six games, Ekman-Larsson has erupted for three goals and four assists, including three power-play points.

Opens scoring Tuesday Lomberg scored a goal, levied two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Lomberg's two goals this season have come over the last five games. The 28-year-old winger remains a fourth-line fixture for the Panthers, but he's been more physical pop than scoring threat. He's added 26 hits, 20 shots on net and a plus-4 rating, so his fantasy value is low even in formats that reward his toughness.

Nets game-winner Tuesday Stenlund scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Stenlund's tally at 11:09 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The 27-year-old has scored twice over his last three contests, the second time he's had such a stretch this season. He's at four goals, no assists, 16 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 15 appearances. While he doesn't have a lot of offense, Stenlund has maintained a steady spot in the Panthers' lineup on the fourth line.

Picks up win in San Jose Stolarz stopped 19 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Stolarz didn't dominate in this contest, but he got the job done despite briefly falling behind by a goal in the third period. The 29-year-old has won two of his three outings this season, allowing eight goals on 74 shots. Sergei Bobrovsky remains entrenched as the starting goalie and will likely get the nod Thursday versus the Kings, which could allow for Stolarz to start again in short order against his former team, the Ducks, on Friday.

Montour amassed 16 goals, 73 points, 107 PIM, 242 shots on net, 93 blocked shots and 92 hits in 80 games last season. He hasn't played during the 2023-24 campaign because of offseason shoulder surgery.

First goalie off Tuesday Stolarz was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes on the road against San Jose.

Impact Stolarz will patrol the crease for just the third time this season after posting a 1-1-0 record and .904 save percentage in his prior two outings. The New Jersey native would face a significant uphill battle to supplant Sergei Bobrovsky as the No. 1 netminder in Florida and likely would be challenged for the starting job by Spencer Knight, who is currently playing in the minors.

Sent to AHL affiliate Lockwood was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Lockwood's demotion suggests Jonah Gadjovich (upper body) could be ready to return from his conditioning stint with Charlotte ahead of Tuesday's game versus San Jose. Lockwood has gone scoreless through seven top-level appearances this year -- he won't be a useful fantasy option regardless of format in 2023-24.

Two-point effort Sunday Ekman-Larsson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over Chicago.

Impact The veteran defenseman opened the scoring just 39 seconds into the first period, creeping in off the blue line to take a feed from Sam Reinhart and tap the puck into a wide-open cage. Ekman-Larsson has three goals and six points over the last five games, and on the season the 32-year-old former Coyote and Canuck has four goals and nine points in his first 14 games as a Panther. He led all Florida defensemen in power-play time Sunday, but with Brandon Montour (shoulder) close to making his season debut, Ekman-Larsson's role on the man advantage figures to shrink in the near future.
