Rasmus Asplund - Recalled Wednesday Asplund was called up from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.
Sergei Bobrovsky - Expected to start Wednesday Bobrovsky is expected to start at home against Detroit on Wednesday.
Impact Bobrovsky will look to get back into the win column after stopping 18 of 21 shots in a 4-1 loss to New Jersey on Saturday. The Red Wings are a difficult opponent, though. They have won five of their last six games and rank fourth offensively this year with 3.56 goals per game. Bobrovsky has a 21-10-1 record, 2.45 GAA and .911 save percentage in 32 appearances in 2023-24.

Dmitry Kulikov - Ready to return Wednesday Kulikov (undisclosed) is good to return Wednesday versus Detroit.
Impact Kulikov didn't play in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim because of the injury. He has 10 assists in 39 contests in 2023-24. With Kulikov back, Josh Mahura might be a healthy scratch Wednesday.
JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksander Barkov - Out Wednesday Barkov (lower body) will miss Wednesday's game against Detroit.
Impact Barkov's lower-body injury was labeled as minor Monday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site, so the Panthers forward might not be shelved for long. In the meantime, though, Steven Lorentz is projected to draw into the lineup for the first time since Dec. 21 while Anton Lundell is set to serve on the top line, based on Wednesday's practice, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. Barkov has 11 goals and 46 points in 40 contests this campaign.

Panthers take on the Red Wings after Bennett's 2-goal game

Carter Verhaeghe - Picks up two points Monday Verhaeghe had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim on Monday.
Impact Verhaeghe has been red hot recently, scoring eight goals and 17 points over his last 11 outings. That's elevated him to 23 markers and 43 points in 43 games this season. While his recent success has naturally increased his overall offensive pace, it still wouldn't be shocking for the 28-year-old to finish the season with 80-85 points after he established himself as a high-end threat in 2022-23 by contributing 42 goals and 73 points in 81 contests.

Aleksander Barkov - Dealing with lower-body injury Barkov is dealing with a minor lower-body injury, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Impact The issue tightened up on Barkov in the third period of Monday's contest against Anaheim, but the Panthers believe he will be available to play Wednesday versus Detroit. Barkov contributed an assist and logged 17:13 of ice time in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.
JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Bennett - Supplies two goals vs. Anaheim Bennett contributed two goals in a 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim on Monday.
Impact Bennett's first goal was scored on the power play. He's up to 10 goals and 17 points in 31 outings in 2023-24, including seven points with the man advantage. Bennett's scoring pace is a bit below that of 2022-23 -- 16 goals and 40 points in 63 outings -- but he has a regular role on the second line, giving him the opportunity to modestly increase his offensive pace over the second half of the campaign.
JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Stolarz - Falls to Ducks Stolarz turned aside 21 of 26 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim on Monday.
Impact Stolarz allowed at least one goal in every period, including two markers on 10 shots in the second frame. He dropped to 6-4-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 12 contests in 2023-24. Monday's action aside, Stolarz has been a solid backup goaltender for the Panthers this season, but Sergei Bobrovsky is having a great campaign with a 21-10-1 record, 2.45 GAA and .911 save percentage in 32 appearances, so Florida has been leaning heavily on the netminder with a $10 million annual cap hit, leaving Stolarz with infrequent opportunities to start.

Panthers look to start a new winning streak after Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils The Florida Panthers had their nine-game winning streak snapped Saturday against the New Jersey Devils.
JANUARY 14 • MIAMIHERALD.COM
Dmitry Kulikov - Game-time call Monday Kulikov (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Monday against Anaheim, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact It's unclear exactly what's ailing Kulikov, but the 33-year-old defenseman played just 13:49 minutes in a loss to the Devils on Saturday. Kulikov has 10 points, all assists, through 39 games in his return to the Panthers this season. Josh Mahura would likely slot into Florida's third pairing if Kulikov ultimately can't suit up.

Sam Reinhart - Goal streak at six games Reinhart scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.
Impact He spoiled Nico Daws' shutout bid late in the second period, converting a blind pass from Matthew Tkachuk for Florida's only goal. Reinhart has lit the lamp in six straight games and nine of the last 10, erupting for an incredible 13 goals and 15 points over that stretch. The 28-year-old is just three goals away from setting a new career high with 34, and Reinhart remains hot on the heels of Auston Matthews (33 in 39 games) for the NHL lead.
