Impact Florida's final contest before heading to Europe is Oct. 28 against Buffalo. Barkov was injured late in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Ottawa. With Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk (illness) unavailable to play Saturday versus the Sabres, Anton Lundell will be on the top line, and Patrick Giles will draw into the lineup.

Back in action Saturday Boqvist (face) will return to the lineup Saturday against Buffalo, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Boqvist missed just one game after he was struck in the face by a puck in Florida's opener. The 24-year-old Boqvist figures to fill a bottom-pairing role for the Panthers, though he could see some time on the man advantage.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Saturday Knight will guard the road net Saturday against the Sabres, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.
Impact After he was recalled from AHL Charlotte earlier in the week, Knight will make his season debut Saturday in Buffalo. The 23-year-old netminder figures to serve as Sergei Bobrovsky's primary backup this year after going 9-8-3 with a .901 save percentage in 2023-24.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Out with illness Tkachuk (illness) won't play Saturday against the Sabres, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.
Impact It's a tough blow for a Panthers team that'll also be without Aleksander Barkov (lower body). Tkachuk had two assists in Florida's first two games this season. He'll look to return Monday in a road matchup with the Bruins.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Out vs. Sabres Barkov (lower body) didn't practice Saturday and will miss the Panthers' road matchup with the Sabres, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact While the extent of Barkov's injury is still unclear, the Panthers will be without their captain for at least one game. The 29-year-old center had one assist in two games this year after posting 23 goals and 80 points across 73 contests in 2023-24. The earliest Barkov could return would be Monday against the Bruins. Anton Lundell figures to move into a top-six role in his absence with Patrick Giles slotting into the lineup.

Impact Nosek was placed on injured reserve Monday, and now he'll be out for the remainder of October. He was deemed week-to-week as of Tuesday. Nosek won't count against the Panthers' cap while he's on LTIR, allowing the team to call up Patrick Giles to help cover for the absence of Aleksander Barkov (lower body).

Up from minors Giles was called up by the Panthers on Friday, per Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post.
Impact Giles had 10 goals, 23 points and 31 PIM in 66 regular-season games with AHL Charlotte in 2023-24. The 24-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut, but perhaps he'll draw into the lineup Saturday versus Buffalo if Barkov (lower body) is unavailable after being hurt during Thursday's 3-1 loss to Ottawa.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies lone goal in loss Forsling scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Senators.
Impact Forsling got the Panthers on the board in the second period. The defenseman has added a plus-4 rating and four shots on net through two contests while seeing time on the top pairing at even strength. He wasn't in the power-play mix Thursday, with Uvis Balinskis instead getting time with the man advantage. Florida's offense is a strong one, so Forsling should have no trouble contributing, but the lack of a power-play role lowers his scoring ceiling for fantasy purposes.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Ambushed by Sens Bobrovsky turned aside 28 of 30 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Senators, with Ottawa's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Impact The two Sens tallies against Bobrovsky both came before the 11-minutes mark of the first period, including a power-play strike through traffic by Tim Stutzle. The 36-year-old goalie stood tall the rest of the way, but the Panthers' offense had trouble solving Linus Ullmark. Bobrovsky is 1-1 with a 3.03 GAA as he settles into the current season.
