Tending twine Tuesday Bobrovsky will guard the cage on the road against Dallas on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Bobrovsky has given up two or fewer goals in 12 straight games, posting a 10-2-0 record, 1.57 GAA and .945 save percentage. The Panthers have been playing it relatively conservatively with the veteran netminder's workload, having used him in just 12 of the last 20 contests. Still, Bobrovsky is firmly cemented as the No. 1 option ahead of Anthony Stolarz.

Set to miss at least two weeks Ekblad (lower body) will be unavailable for at least two weeks and he'll be considered day-to-day afterward, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Ekblad was injured in a collision with teammate Vladimir Tarasenko in Saturday's 5-1 win over Calgary. The 28-year-old Ekblad has four goals, 17 points, 94 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and 78 hits in 47 games this season. Josh Mahura is expected to draw into the lineup during Ekblad's absence, while Oliver Ekman-Larsson will slot in alongside Gustav Forsling.

Game-time decision against Stars Rodrigues (lower body) will be a game-time call for Tuesday's clash with Dallas, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Rodrigues' spot in the lineup was filled by new man Kyle Okposo at Monday's game-day skate. After a disastrous February in which the 30-year-old Rodrigues failed to score a single goal, he seems to have rediscovered his game with two goals and an assist in his last five appearances.

Goal holds up after review Bennett found twine in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Bennett was involved in a busy second period that included four goals for the Panthers, who are currently maintaining the league's best record with 92 points. While it was originally believed that it would be a no-goal for the winger due to his stick being too high on a deflection, the call ultimately was upheld based on the determination that his stick was at or below the height of the crossbar. Bennett remains an option in most deep leagues with 15 goals, 16 assists and a plus-12 rating through 53 games.

Growth in game on full display Forsling picked up two assists in a 5-1 win over the Flames on Saturday.

Impact Forsling got the primary helper on goals 1:43 apart in the second period. He has 34 points, including 10 goals, in 64 games this season and has delivered 34 or more points in three consecutive seasons. It's an impressive evolution for Forsling, who came to the Panthers after being claimed off waivers from the Hurricanes in Jan. 2021. Now, he has become one of the most complete defenders in the NHL, a difference-making penalty killer and the team's leading scorer from the back end. And he leads the NHL with a plus-47 rating, some 14 points better than second-place Quinn Hughes. That kind of steady is valuable in many formats.

Wins fifth straight game Stolarz made 34 saves in a 5-1 win over the Flames on Saturday.

Impact Yegor Sharangovich jammed in a rebound early in the second and that was it -- no other Calgary player could beat him. And while there were a lot of shots, Stolarz faced few that were overly dangerous. The Panthers swarmed the Flames in transition, starting in the second frame, and the visitors could only muster low-quality shots that were easily stopped. Stolarz has won five straight games and is 7-1-0 in his last eight starts dating back to Jan 22. With such an outstanding squad in front of him, Stolarz is an excellent spot start whenever he's in the blue paint.

First three points in new uniform Tarasenko scored twice and added an assist in a 5-1 win over Calgary on Saturday.

Impact It was his second game since being acquired from the Senators and his first points. Tarasenko put the Panthers up 1-0 just 23 seconds into the second period when he intercepted a clearing pass from Jonathan Huberdeau deep in the Flames zone and fired it past Jacob Markstrom. His second went through Markstrom later in the same frame. Tarasenko is on a line with Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart, which helps the newcomer with his two-way play. There's no downside to putting Tarasenko into your lineup. He is out to prove he can be a player of consequence again and so far, so good.
