Faces 37 shots in loss Bobrovsky stopped 34 of 37 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Predators.
Impact It was a solid bounce-back performance from Bobrovsky after he allowed four goals on just 15 shots in his last outing Saturday against Tampa Bay. However, Florida couldn't crack Kevin Lankinen on the other end, as Bobrovsky was stuck with his third straight loss. The 35-year-old netminder falls to 32-15-2 with a .916 save percentage and 2.37 GAA this season. Bobrovsky will look to get back in the win column in his next start, liking to come on the road Saturday versus the Rangers.

Can't finish contest Mahura sustained a lower-body injury and didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Predators, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Mahura was hurt in the third period, and while he stayed on the bench, he didn't see any shifts after the injury. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Rangers. If he can't play, Tobias Bjornfot could be in line for his Panthers debut.

Sitting out Thursday Barkov (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Predators, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Barkov was labeled a game-time decision earlier in the day, but it appears he'll have to miss at least one contest. His absence will have a ripple effect on the lineup, with Anton Lundell sliding onto the first line and Evan Rodrigues centering the second line. Barkov's next chance to play is Saturday versus the Rangers.

Questionable Thursday Barkov (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Nashville on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Barkov was on the ice at practice Thursday, but he sat out practice during the week. Barkov has gone pointless in his last two games, though he did have six shots on net Saturday versus the Lightning -- the last time the Panthers played. Barkov has 18 goals and 66 points in 62 appearances this season. Check close to puck drop on Barkov's status.

Suiting up versus Preds Tkachuk (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against Nashville on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Tkachuk will avoid missing any game time due to his undisclosed problem. In his last outing, the 26-year-old Arizona native was able to end an eight-game goal drought during which he managed seven helpers and 23 shots. With Tkachuk in the lineup, he figures to serve in a second-line role in addition to skating with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Exits ice first Bobrovsky was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home against the Predators.
Impact Bobrovsky has managed just one victory in his last four outings, posting a 1-3-0 record to go with a 3.05 GAA and .886 save percentage. The veteran backstop should continue to see the majority of the workload even with his current slump. An upcoming back-to-back against the Rangers and Flyers on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, will likely see Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz split the starts.

Called up from minors Balinskis was promoted to the NHL roster Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Balinskis figures to serve as an emergency depth defenseman due to the absence of Aaron Ekblad (lower body) and Dmitry Kulikov (suspension). If the 27-year-old Balinskis were to get into the lineup against Nashville on Thursday, it would likely come at the expense of Tobias Bjornfot.
