Panthers' Brad Marchand: Pots goal in Wednesday's loss
RotowireMarchand scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
Marchand avoided setting a new longest goal drought of the season, snapping his three-game dry spell with a tally 5:21 into this contest. His remarkable November now stands at nine goals and six assists in 12 outings. Marchand is up to 14 goals, 26 points, 62 shots on net, 16 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 22 appearances. Last year's playoffs showed Marchand could still be effective, but few fantasy managers could have seen this career resurgence coming ahead of 2025-26.

RotowirePer George Richards of Florida Hockey Now, head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday thatEkblad was fine after blocking a shot at the end of Wednesday's tilt against Philadelphia, and will play Friday versus Calgary.
Ekblad had an assist, three blocked shots, two hits and one shot on goal in 21:43 of action Wednesday. The 29-year-old blueliner has only one goal and seven points across 22 appearances this season.

RotowireVerhaeghe produced a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
The 30-year-old went 18 games to begin the season without delivering a multi-point performance, but Verhaeghe seems to be getting into a groove in the back half of November. Over the last five contests, he's struck for multiple points three times, amassing two goals and seven points in total.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Sam Bennett: Two helpers in loss to Philly
RotowireBennett collected two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
The 29-year-old continues to put a slow start to the season behind him. Bennett has a modest three-game point streak going. Over his last 12 contests, he's produced four goals and nine points after managing just two points (one goal, one assist) in his first 11 outings.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Struggles continue Wednesday
RotowireBobrovsky made 14 saves in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
The veteran netminder had little chance on any of the pucks that got past him -- two found their way through traffic in front of the net, and two deflected past him. Still, it was a disappointing result after thePanthers had grabbed an early 2-0 lead. Bobrovsky has given up at least four goals in three of his last four outings, and over nine November starts, he's gone 5-4-0 with a shaky 3.43 GAA and .864 save percentage.

RotowireBobrovsky is set to start at home against Philadelphia on Wednesday, per Jameson Olive of thePanthers' official site.
Bobrovsky will look to get back into the win column after surrendering four goals on 17 shots en route to a 6-3 loss to Edmonton on Saturday. He's 10-6-0 with a 2.80 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 16 outings this year. The Flyers are 11-7-3 and rank 26th in goals per game with 2.67.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Starts skating
RotowireTkachuk (groin) has resumed skating, Jameson Olive of thePanthers' official site reports Wednesday.
Tkachuk's timeline to return is still somewhere between December and January, but he is progressing on an on-and-off schedule. The 27-year-old had 22 goals, 57 points, 54 PIM and 84 hits across 52 regular-season outings in 2024-25. Tkachuk should serve in a top-six capacity when he's healthy.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Uvis Balinskis: Dishes pair of assists
RotowireBalinskis notched two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Balinskis has earned all four of his helpers on the year over the last four games. The 29-year-old defenseman's momentum should help him stay in the lineup over Donovan Sebrango for a while. Balinskis has added eight shots on net, 20 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in 13 appearances this season.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Jesper Boqvist: Tallies in blowout win
RotowireBoqvist scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Boqvist is doing a decent job since moving up to the second line with two points over his last four games. The 27-year-old is filling in for Eetu Luostarinen (lower body) in that span. Boqvist has three goals, two assists, 21 shots on net, 52 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 22 appearances this season.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Gustav Forsling: One of each in win
RotowireForsling scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Forsling's goal at 1:24 of the second period chased Juuse Saros from the game. The 29-year-old Forsling picked up just his second multi-point effort of the campaign, but he's earned six points over his last seven outings while adding a plus-6 rating in that span. Overall, the Swedish blueliner is up to 12 points, 29 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-8 rating through 22 contests.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Sam Bennett: Puts away goal in big win
RotowireBennett scored a goal on two shots and went plus-4 in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Bennett has two goals and two assists over his last four games, which has been one of his best stretches of the season. It helps that thePanthers have scored 20 goals in that span, creating more offense to go around. The 29-year-old is up to five goals, four assists, 44 shots on net, 43 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 22 contests in a middle-six role this season.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Evan Rodrigues: Two points in win Monday
RotowireRodrigues recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Rodrigues found the back of the net at 5:42 of the first period to give thePanthers a 2-0 lead with a wrister, and he later assisted Sam Reinhart's third-period tally when the game was already out of reach for the Predators. The Panthers have been struggling on offense this season, but Rodrigues is finding ways to remain productive while anchoring the second line. He's up to seven points (four goals, three assists) in 11 games since the beginning of November.
... See More... See LessPanthers' A.J. Greer: Two goals, three points Monday
RotowireGreer scored two goals and added an assist in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Greer got the scoring started just 11 seconds into the first period, and he'd later add another goal and a helper in the third frame. Fantasy managers need to be cautious when considering adding Greer to their rosters, however, as he's notched only four points in 11 games since the beginning of November.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Three points Monday
RotowireVerhaeghe had one goal, two assists, a plus-4 rating, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Verhaeghe was everywhere for thePanthers, and he made his presence felt early on by assisting A.J. Greer on the opening goal just 11 seconds into the game. Verhaeghe would later add two more contributions in the third period, making it his second multi-point game of the season. Both have come in his last four games, so the 30-year-old might be thawing after a cold start to the season. Verhaeghe has 13 points in 22 games in 2025-26, and with only three goals in that span, his streak of four consecutive regular seasons with at least 20 goals looks to be in jeopardy.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Sam Reinhart: Point streak reaches seven games
RotowireReinhart recorded a goal and two assists in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Reinhart delivered two assists in the first period, in goals scored by Evan Rodrigues and Jesper Boqvist, and he later added a strike of his own at 8:33 of the final frame. The left winger has been on an absolute tear of late, and he has three games with at least three points during his ongoing seven-game point streak. He's up to 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) despite a minus-4 rating in 11 contests since the beginning of November.
... See More... See LessPanthers' Daniil Tarasov: Gets plenty of help in win
RotowireTarasov stopped 36 of 39 shots in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Tarasov was good enough as thePanthers' offense took advantage of a favorable matchup Monday. He's now 2-1-0 with eight goals allowed on 113 shots (.929 save percentage) through four outings in November. Overall, Tarasov has a 2-3-1 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .913 save percentage in seven contests this season. Sergei Bobrovsky is still in line for a majority of the starts, but Tarasov is proving his value in the backup role should he be needed for more work.
