Tomas Nosek - Injured against Nashville Nosek is battling an upper-body injury and will miss some time as a result, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Tuesday. Impact Nosek went hard into the boards in Sunday's preseason game after being tripped by a Nashville player. The injury will keep him sidelined for weeks, but coach Paul Maurice specified that it is not a concussion. Nosek was expected to compete for Florida's fourth-line center role, so it'll be an interesting situation to keep tabs on as the season approaches. The 32-year-old has generated 107 points in 434 regular-season contests throughout his nine-year NHL career.
