Adam Boqvist - Leaves season opener Boqvist (face) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Bruins after taking a puck to the face.
Impact Boqvist was hit by a clearing attempt in the first period and was unable to return. The 24-year-old defenseman has a lengthy injury history, having never played in more than 52 games in a season. Boqvist was set to fill a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit, but Aaron Ekblad will likely take over that role during Boqvist's absence.

MacKenzie Entwistle - Lands on waivers Entwistle was waived by the Panthers on Tuesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact Entwistle will report to AHL Charlotte if he clears waivers. The right-shot forward signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida in July after spending the first four years of his career with the Blackhawks. Entwistle has collected 35 points in 193 career regular-season games throughout his career.

Chris Driedger - Placed on waivers Driedger was designated for waivers by the Panthers on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Driedger's placement on waivers clears the way for him to be reassigned to AHL Charlotte, assuming he clears, after Tuesday's clash with the Bruins. While Sergei Bobrovsky will be manning the crease in that contest, the 30-year-old Driedger will serve as the backup. Once he clears, the Winnipeg native figures to switch places with Spencer Knights, who is expected to be called up in a corresponding move.

Tomas Nosek - Labeled week-to-week Nosek (upper body) is considered week-to-week and is expected to miss at least the next seven games after GM Bill Zito said "but not next week," per Jameson Olive of the Panthers'...
Impact Nosek has already been designated for injured reserve, so his timeline shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Still, the 32-year-old forward was expected to slot into a bottom-six role for the Panthers after signing a one-year deal with the club in the offseason. With Nosek on the shelf, Jonah Gadjovich and A.J. Greer could see some extra opportunities.

Sergei Bobrovsky - In goal Tuesday Bobrovsky will get the starting nod at home versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Impact Bobrovsky will guard the cage as the Panthers raise up their Stanley Cup championship banner Tuesday as he looks to continue his strong run of form from last season. During the playoffs, the veteran netminder went 16-8 with a 2.32 GAA and .906 save percentage in 24 contests. Bobrovsky has topped the 50-game mark in each of the last three seasons and should do so again this time around while also looking to reach the 35-win threshold for the third time in four years.

Sandis Vilmanis - Not on opening roster Vilmanis did not make the Panthers' opening roster announced Monday.
Impact Vilmanis will likely spend most of 2024-25 with AHL Charlotte. He racked up 67 points over 60 regular-season games and 27 points in 16 playoff outings in the OHL last year, splitting the season between Sarnia and North Bay.
OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Sourdif - Beginning as non-roster Sourdif (undisclosed) was placed on season-opening injured reserve Monday, per PuckPedia.
Impact Sourdif was deemed week-to-week in late September and is not close to returning. The 22-year-old forward was in contention for a roster spot to begin camp, but his absence will likely lead to him heading to AHL Charlotte once he's healthy.
