Florida Panthers

Sergei Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 26 shots faced in a 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Fantasy Impact: Bobrovsky has benefited from an explosive Florida offensive attack to begin the season, allowing three or more goals in four of five starts in the crease so far this season. The veteran netminder will look to offer fantasy managers a more consistent lineup option as the season continues, posting a 2.95 GAA and .896 save percentage in five starts (3-1-1) between the pipes so far this season.

Eetu Luostarinen was able to find the back of the net for the Panthers Saturday night, scoring one goal in a 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Fantasy Impact: Luostarinen has been fairly solid in the offensive zone to begin the season, finding the back of the net in three of the first seven games for the Panthers. The 26-year-old will look to contribute on a more consistent basis as the season continues, tallying three points (three goals) in seven games so far this season.

Gustav Forsling was able to light the lamp for the Panthers Saturday night, scoring one goal in a 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Fantasy Impact: Forsling continues an impactful stretch in the offensive zone of late, registering points in three of his last four games for the Panthers. The 28-year-old blueliner should offer fantasy managers a safe option in lineups as part of a high-octane Florida attack, tallying four points (two goals, two assists) in seven games so far this season.

Aaron Ekblad recorded two assists in the Panthers' 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Ekblad has gotten off to a slow start in the offensive zone to begin the season, picking up points for the first time in his last six games for the Panthers. The 28-year-old blueliner will look to continue to turn things around for a talented Florida squad looking to defend their Stanley Cup championship this season.

Carter Verhaeghe notched one assist in the Panthers' 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact: Verhaeghe has heated up in the offensive zone after a slow start, recording points in each of his last three games for the Panthers. The 29-year-old remains one of a plethora of options as part of a deep Florida forward group, notching three points to go along with a +7 plus/minus in seven games so far this season.

Sam Bennett posted two points for the Panthers Saturday night, scoring one goal and picking up one assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Fantasy Impact: Bennett continues a steady stretch in the offensive zone to begin the season, notching points in five of the first seven games for the Panthers. The 28-year-old is one of many reliable options in lineups as part of an explosive Florida offensive attack, posting seven points (four goals, three assists) in seven games so far this season.

Sam Reinhart tallied three points for the Panthers Saturday night, scoring one goal and adding two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Fantasy Impact: Reinhart continues a torrid stretch in the offensive zone to begin the season, tallying points in six of seven games for the Panthers. The 28-year-old looks like an elite option in lineups for fantasy managers early on, posting a 1.71 point per game average (five goals, seven assists) in seven games so far this season.

Spencer Knight was steady in net for the Panthers Tuesday night, stopping 35 of 38 shots faced in a 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Fantasy Impact: Knight has fought consistency issues in the crease to begin the season, allowing three or more goals in each of his two starts for the Panthers to begin the season. The 23-year-old will look to capitalize on a strong preseason in hopes of carving into No.1 netminder Sergei Bobrovsky's workload, but will need to keep the puck out of the net moving forward while posting an .891 save percentage to begin the season.

Anton Lundell tallied two points for the Panthers Tuesday night, scoring one goal and picking up one assist in a 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Fantasy Impact: Lundell has gotten off to a steady start in the offensive zone to begin the season, recording points in three of the first five games for the Panthers. The 23-year-old will look to take a step forward for head coach Paul Maurice, posting a 1.00 point per game average (three goals, two assists) to begin the season for the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: Tkachuk will sit out with the illness for head coach Paul Maurice, with Aleksander Barkov (lower body) also out Saturday against the Sabres.

Brandon Montour recorded three points for the Panthers Saturday, scoring one goal and picking up two assists in a 9-2 win over the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact: Montour has struggled to make a consistent impact in the offensive zone, picking up points in just four of his last 12 games (two goals, four assists) for the Panthers. The defenseman remains a risky lineup option for fantasy managers desperate for blueline help, posting 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) while tallying 52 hits in 39 games so far this season.

Aleksander Barkov Jr. notched two assists in the Panthers' 4-0 win over the Sabres Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact: Barkov Jr. has been solid in the offensive zone of late, recording points in eight of his last 13 games (one goal, 13 assists) for the Panthers. The 28-year-old is one of many steady options as part of an offensive juggernaut for head coach Paul Maurice, carrying a 1.10 point per game average (12 goals, 41 assists) in 48 games so far this season.

Florida Panthers forward Eric Staal will make his season debut Thursday versus the Philadelphia Flyers. (Source: Florida Panthers on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Staal didn't play in the NHL last season but signed a one-year deal off of a professional tryout with the Panthers this season. The long-time NHLer last played in the league in the 2020-21 campaign, tallying 13 points across 53 games split between the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens. Barring a major turn of events, his fantasy-relevant days are well behind him.

Florida Panthers forward Colin White recorded an assist in Tuesday's loss versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

Fantasy Impact: White notched his helper on Eetu Luostarinen's third-period tally, but the Panthers eventually fell 4-2 to the Blackhawks. He's off to a nice start with his new club, notching six points through seven games, albeit with just nine shots on goal. In a bottom-six role without power-play reps, White should be left on the waiver wire.
