Sergei Bobrovsky - Exits ice first Bobrovsky was the first goalie off the ice Friday, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Utah.

Impact Bobrovsky is riding a two-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.44 GAA, .942 save percentage and one shutout. The veteran backstop has already reached the 30-win mark for the third time in the last four years and could still match his 36-win total from 2023-24 -- though he will have to continue seeing the bulk of the starts in the lead-up to the postseason in order to get there.

Dmitry Kulikov - Hoping to return during regular season Kulikov (upper body) could return to the lineup during the final week of the NHL regular season, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Thursday.

Impact Kulikov has already missed three games due to his upper-body injury and now seems poised to be out until the closing contests of the regular season. Considering the 34-year-old defenseman has managed just 13 points in 68 games, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him suddenly providing offensive upside once given the all-clear.

Brad Marchand - Might be available for Friday Marchand (upper body) might make his Panthers debut Friday versus Utah, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Impact Florida acquired Marchand from Boston on March 7, but he hasn't been able to play for the Panthers because of the injury, which occurred March 1. Marchand has 21 goals, 47 points and 62 PIM in 61 outings in 2024-25. If he does play Friday, it will probably be as part of the top six and a member of the first power-play unit. His presence would likely result in a reduction in Mackie Samoskevich's role.

Nate Schmidt - Picks up assist Sunday Schmidt recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact Schmidt ended a six-game point drought with his helper on Anton Lundell's game-tying goal in the third period. The 33-year-old Schmidt has seen steady playing time lately, drawing over 18 minutes of ice time in four straight contests. He's helping to fill the void in the absences of Aaron Ekblad (suspension) and Dmitry Kulikov (upper body), so Schmidt should continue to see a little more usage for most of the rest of the regular season. He's at 18 points, 57 shots on net, 67 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 69 appearances.
