Jonah Gadjovich - Dealing with back spasms Gadjovich (back) isn't expected to play Tuesday against Minnesota, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Gadjovich will miss his second straight outing and could miss additional action while he recovers from a back issue. Florida is expected to get Matthew Tkachuk (illness) back in the lineup versus the Wild. Still, injuries to Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Tomas Nosek (upper body) will likely result in the team having 11 forwards and seven blueliners in Tuesday's lineup.

Matthew Tkachuk - Slated to play Tuesday Head coach Paul Maurice said Monday that he assumes Tkachuk (illness) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Wild, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tkachuk has missed the last five games due to an illness, but the team has remained hopeful that he'd be back in action against Minnesota. He's slated to meet his return timetable, which will provide a significant boost to the Panthers. Over his first two appearances of the season, Tkachuk recorded two assists, seven shots on goal and a plus-2 rating.

The Florida Panthers host the Minnesota Wild after the Panthers knocked off the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in overtime

OCTOBER 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Eetu Luostarinen - Scores again Saturday Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact There was plenty of ice time available for Luostarinen in a 10-forward lineup, and he logged a season-high 21:47. The 26-year-old has two goals over his last three games, and he's up to three tallies over seven contests this season. He's yet to record an assist, but the Finn has added 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating while playing in a middle-six role.

Gustav Forsling - Scores overtime game-winner Forsling scored the game-winning goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The six shots were a season high for Forsling, who also logged 28:07 of ice time despite the Panthers dressing seven defensemen. The 28-year-old is off to an excellent start this season, producing two goals, two assists, a plus-9 rating, 14 shots on net, five blocked shots and four hits over seven contests. He's recorded at least 37 points in three straight regular seasons, and while Forsling sees minimal power-play time, he more than makes up for it with steady even-strength offense.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Ekblad - Ends drought with two helpers Ekblad picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The veteran blueliner had failed to record a point in five straight games, but Ekblad got off the schneid by helping set up tallies by Sam Reinhart in the second period and Eetu Luostarinen in the third. Adam Boqvist has been handling the point on the Panthers' top power-play unit but has just one point, an assist, through his first six contests this season -- if Ekblad gets rolling, he could reclaim that spot fairly quickly.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Anton Lundell - Two helpers in OT win over Vegas Lundell collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The 23-year-old center continues to take advantage of the absence of Aleksander Barkov (lower body). Lundell has erupted for four goals and seven points over the last four games while skating in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit, an assignment he seems likely to retain at least until the end of the month.

Sam Bennett - Two-point performance in OT win Bennett scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights. He also recorded five shots, three hits and a plus-1 rati...

Impact The 28-year-old banged home his fourth goal of the season early in the second period, then helped set up Gustav Forsling for the winner with just 17 seconds left in OT. Bennett has had a strong start to the season for a Panthers squad currently missing Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness), piling up seven points in the first seven games.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Reinhart - Another three-point effort Reinhart scored a goal and added two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact After potting his fifth goal of the season early in the second period, Reinhart helped set up Eetu Luostarinen's tying tally midway through the third and Gustav Forsling's winner with just 17 seconds left in OT. With Matthew Tkachuk (illness), Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and others sidelined, Reinhart has stepped up in a big way for Florida, compiling four goals and 10 points over the course of a five-game point streak.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sergei Bobrovsky - Hangs on for OT win Bobrovsky made 23 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The injury-plagued Panthers never held the lead during regulation, but Bobrovsky kept them in it until Gustav Forsling found the winner with just 17 seconds left in OT. The veteran netminder is 3-1-1 to begin the season with a 2.95 GAA and .896 save percentage, and Bob may not get a break until the defending Stanley Cup champs play back-to-back games in Finland against the Stars at the beginning of November as part of the Global Series.
