TOMAS NOSEK NEWS

Contributes helper Nosek logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Nosek snapped a four-game drought with the helper. The 32-year-old has seen steady bottom-six usage and has also received a little time on the second power-play unit since his return from an upper-body injury. He has three points, eight shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances.

Scores first career power-play goal Nosek scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Nosek has two points over his first three games this season. His tally Thursday was his first career power-play goal, and just his second ever point with the man advantage over parts of 10 seasons. The 32-year-old is centering the Panthers' fourth line, and he likely only received power-play time Thursday because the team was cruising to a lopsided win. He'll have a little scoring upside given the strength of the team's offense, but it's unlikely to be enough for consideration in fantasy.

Gets on scoresheet with helper Nosek notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Finland.

Impact This was Nosek's second game of the season after he missed all of October due to an upper-body injury. He's slotted into a bottom-six role to begin his first year with the Panthers, and given the team's center depth, he's unlikely to get a look higher in the lineup without a move to the wing. He's added one shot on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating over his two appearances.

Suitting up Friday Nosek (upper body) will be in the lineup to face the Stars on Friday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Nosek, as expected, will make his 2024-25 season debut after missing the first 11 games of the year due to his upper-body injury. With the 32-year-old forward available, he is poised to move into the fourth-line center role while Patrick Giles is relegated to a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Nearing return to action Nosek (upper body) looks poised to suit up against the Stars on Friday after coach Paul Maurice told reporters, "Assuming he gets through the morning skate and feels good, we'll ac...

Impact Nosek will make his season debut after missing the Devils' opening 11 games of the campaign. The veteran center will slot into a fourth-line role alongside A.J. Greer and Mackie Samoskevich, a move that will relegate Patrick Giles to the press box. For his part, Nosek saw action in 36 games for New Jersey last year in which he generated two goals and four assists. Having never topped the 20-point mark in his career, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting a ton of offense out of Nosek this season.

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.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Agrees to one-year contract Nosek signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

Limited in season finale Nosek managed just one shot and a minus-two rating in Monday's season finale against the Islanders.

Impact Nosek returned from an undisclosed injury to play in the 82nd campaign of the year. Injuries limited the 31-year-old winger to just 36 games this season in which he notched two goals on 38 shots, four assists and 33 hits. The Czech native will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason but may not have stayed healthy enough to convince the Devils to keep him around for another year.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Monday Nosek (undisclosed) is poised to suit up for the season finale against the Islanders on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

It will be the 31-year-old winger's last chance to end an eight-game goal drought during which he managed just 11 shots while notching a pair of helpers.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined with undisclosed issue Nosek (undisclosed) won't play Thursday against the Maple Leafs, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Nosek's picked up just six points through 35 contests this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to keep tabs on his status. Another update on Nosek should surface once he's cleared to return.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Stuck on one point Nosek posted one shot, one blocked shot, one hit and a minus-1 rating in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact It's no surprise that Nosek failed to mark the scoresheet against one of his former teams Sunday considering he has just one point in 24 appearances this season -- a March 14 goal in Dallas. Nosek had at least 15 points in each of the previous six seasons, split between Vegas and Boston, but he's been unable to find success as a fourth-line winger for the Devils in 2023-24.
