Summoned from AHL Balinskis was called up from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.
Impact Balinskis has three goals and 21 points in 37 contests with Charlotte in 2023-24. He also has collected a goal and three points in 22 outings with the Panthers. He's back with Florida after Aaron Ekblad exited Tuesday's contest because of an undisclosed injury.

Two points in Tuesday's loss Lundell produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact The 22-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the first period with his 10th goal of the season, then helped set up Sam Bennett for Florida's final tally late in the third. Lundell had gone a month without a multi-point performance, managing only one goal and three points over the prior 14 contests, and his third-line role puts a firm cap on his fantasy ceiling.

Stunned by Habs Stolarz stopped 34 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact The Panthers were up 2-1 after the first period, but Montreal scored four straight times after that to take control, including a pair of Nick Suzuki tallies in the second frame. The five goals allowed tied his season high, and Stolarz has lost two straight starts since his six-start win streak came to an end. Despite the recent stumbles, the 30-year-old backup netminder still sports a 2.47 GAA and .919 save percentage in six outings since the beginning of March.

Exits Tuesday's contest Ekblad (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Ekblad saw just 7:16 of ice time in this contest. He recently returned from a lower-body injury that cost him seven contests, but the Panthers didn't elaborate on why he exited Tuesday's game. If he can't play Thursday versus the Senators, Josh Mahura or Tobias Bjornfot would draw into the lineup.

Tragetting playoff return Verhaeghe (upper body) is considered week-to-week and may not return until the postseason, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Tuesday.
Impact Verhaege was on a roll prior to getting hurt with five points in his last six contests but now figures to miss the finalseven games of the regular season. Both Evan Rodrigues and Vladimir Tarasenko could be candidates to step in Verheage's first-line role playing alongside Aleksander Barkov -- though the line combinations against Montreal on Tuesday will be further shuffled by the absence of Matthew Tkachuk (illness).
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with illness Tkachuk (illness) won't play Tuesday versus Montreal, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Impact Tkachuk should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's contest against Ottawa. He has amassed 23 goals, 80 points, 255 shots on net and 141 hits in 74 contests this campaign. With Carter Verhaeghe (upper body) unavailable and Jonah Gadjovich set to be scratched, the Panthers will insert Kyle Okposo, Nick Cousins and Steven Lorentz into the lineup against the Canadiens.

Gets starting nod Tuesday Stolarz will be between the pipes on the road against the Canadiens on Tuesday.
Impact Stolarz stopped all six shots he faced in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky on Monday and now finds himself starting the second game of the back-to-back as well. On the year, the 30-year-old Stolarz is 14-6-2 with a career-best 1.99 GAA through 24 outings.

Day-to-day with undisclosed injury Verhaeghe -- who left Monday's matchup with the Maple Leafs during the third period with an undisclosed injury -- was labeled as day-to-day ahead of a clash with Montreal on Tuesda...
Impact Verhaeghe's status won't be clear until closer to puck drop after the Panthers decided not to hold a game-day skate Tuesday. If the winger were to miss out, Vladimir Tarasenko would likely be the top choice to move up to the first line with Aleksander Barkow and Sam Reinhart.
