Mackie Samoskevich - Earns first NHL point Samoskevich registered an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Impact Samoskevich set up a Jesper Boqvist tally in the first period. The helper was Samoskevich's first NHL point, which came in his 13th appearance. Over six games this season, the 21-year-old forward has added nine shots on net, seven hits and a minus-3 rating. He's filled a bottom-six role in 2024-25, though he's averaged 12:20 of ice time to help offset the absences of multiple injured forwards.

Jesper Boqvist - Tallies in overtime loss Boqvist scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Impact Boqvist's first goal as a Panther came at 11:53 of the first period, just 11 seconds after Teddy Blueger opened the scoring for the Canucks. Injuries have pressed Boqvist into a larger role than expected early in the year. He's held his own with three points, two shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating across six appearances, but he's best suited for bottom-six usage. He'll likely drop down the lineup again once Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness) are able to return.

Sergei Bobrovsky - Scuffles continue Bobrovsky made 30 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks on Tuesday.
Impact The first two goals that got past Bobrovsky were controversial. Teddy Blueger's first-period goal was called no goal on the ice, but that was overturned by the Situation Room after they determined the puck had completely crossed the line. Then Quinn Hughes' second period goal was challenged on the ice on a possible hand pass, but video review showed the puck deflected off the player's glove. J.T. Miller scored off the rush in OT. Bobrovsky has been mid so far this season with a 2-1-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .898 save percentage. That's sluggish to say the least after his brilliant 36-17-4 record, 2.37 GAA and .915 save percentage from 2023-24 (and a long Cup run). Hopefully this isn't Cup fatigue.

Anton Lundell - Four goals in last three games Lundell scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 4-3 OT loss to Vancouver.
Impact It's his fourth goal in three games and sixth point in as many games. Lundell is better known as a defensive-minded two-way pivot, but he has stepped up with Matthew Tkachuk (illness) and Aleksander Barkov (lower body) out of the lineup. Don't expect this level of output once those two return, but enjoy this run right now.

Jonah Gadjovich - Can't finish contest Gadjovich (undisclosed) had something tighten up on him and couldn't continue playing in Thursday's game versus the Canucks, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Gadjovich was limited to 2:06 of ice time over three shifts Thursday. It doesn't look to be an overly serious concern at this time, but the Panthers have just 10 healthy forwards on the roster with Gadjovich's status up in the air. Consider him on the more probable side of day-to-day heading into Saturday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Sergei Bobrovsky - Tending twine Thursday Bobrovsky will be between the home pipes versus Vancouver on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Bobrovsky has won two of his three starts to begin the 2024-25 campaign, giving up nine goals on 85 shots (.894 save percentage). He will face the struggling Canucks, who are 0-1-2 thus far, scoring only eight goals in three contests. Bobrovsky had his troubles versus Vancouver last season, losing both starts while allowing eight goals on 47 shots.
