GAME LOG

Niko Mikkola - Assist ends lengthy drought Mikkola earned an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Mikkola's 11th helper of the season ended his 29-game pointless drought. He earned the secondary assist on a second-period goal by Aleksander Barkov. The 27-year-old Mikkola has three goals, 14 points, 56 PIM, 175 hits and 113 blocked shots across 73 appearances this campaign while occupying a middle-pairing role.

Aaron Ekblad - Heavy workload in return Ekblad (lower body) failed to record a point in 22:13 of ice time during Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Returning from a seven-game absence caused by a collision with Vladimir Tarasenko, Ekblad saw his usual workload and was leaned on heavily on the penalty kill, seeing 7:47 with Florida down a man. It's been a tough season overall for the 28-year-old blueliner, who has only four goals and 17 points in 48 games, but with the Panthers having already clinched a playoff spot, Ekblad will use the final weeks of the regular season to try and regain his top form.

Aleksander Barkov - Two points in Thursday's loss Barkov produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Impact The 28-year-old center's efforts gave the Panthers 1-0 and 2-1 leads, but they couldn't solve Semyon Varlamov over the second half of the game. Barkov has a goal and three points in two games since returning from an undisclosed issue that cost him three contests, and on the season he's collected 19 goals and 69 points through 64 games.
MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Stolarz - Win streak ends at six Stolarz stopped 21 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Florida twice grabbed one-goal leads, but Stolarz couldn't protect either one before being beaten by Jean-Gabriel Pageau midway through the second period for what proved to be the winner. The 30-year-old netminder saw his six-game win streak come to an end as he took his first loss since Feb. 6, and Stolarz hasn't given up more than three goals in an outing since Jan. 15, going 8-3-0 over 11 games since then with a 1.80 GAA and .937 save percentage.

Jonah Gadjovich - Remains unavailable Gadjovich (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against the Islanders on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Gadjovich is stuck in a 10-game pointless streak dating back to Feb. 14 against the Penguins. Even once cleared to play, the 25-year-old winger could find himself serving as a healthy scratch frequently. As such, Gadjovich shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Ekblad - Returning to action Thursday Ekblad (lower body) will be back in the lineup versus the Islanders on Thursday, according to George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
Impact Ekblad sat out seven games with the injury. Ekblad missed the first 16 games of the season, recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and has struggled offensively. The 28-year-old blueliner has only four goals and 17 points in 47 games. If he is unable to pick up the pace, he will miss hitting double-digits in goals for only the second time in 10 years. Ekblad will line up alongside Gustav Forsling on the blue line and should see some second-unit power-play time.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Stolarz - Facing Islanders Stolarz will be between the home pipes versus the Islanders on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Stolarz is a perfect 6-0-0 since Feb. 15 as he has provided the Panthers with outstanding backup goaltending when Sergei Bobrovsky needs a rest. Overall, Stolarz is 14-5-2 with an eye-popping 1.97 GAA and an equally as good .927 save percentage in 2023-24. He is 1-1-0 versus the Islanders this season -- turning aside 44 of 50 shots.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Uvis Balinskis - Sent to minors Balinskis was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.
Impact Balinskis has a goal and three points in 22 games with Florida in 2023-24. He also has contributed three goals and 21 points in 35 outings with Charlotte.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Reinhart - Finds back of net again Reinhart scored his 51st goal of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.
Impact The 28-year-old winger shows no signs of slowing down toward the end of his career-best season. Over 12 games in March, Reinhart has racked up 10 goals and 13 points, and he needs six more points over Florida's final 10 games to reach 90 for the first time.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Sergei Bobrovsky - Can't hold off Bruins Bobrovsky stopped 17 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Boston.
Impact Three times the Panthers grabbed one-goal leads, and each time Bobrovsky couldn't prevent the Bruins from tying it up. The veteran netminder then had no chance on the game-winner late in the third period, as David Pastrnak's wide shot deflected in off Pavel Zacha's skate. Bobrovsky hasn't won in five straight starts, going 0-4-1 with a 3.41 GAA and .882 save percentage, but Florida remains in the thick of the race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
