Injury Report
Columbus Blue Jackets
- Cam Atkinson – Hip/Illness (DTD)
- Gabriel Carlsson – Upper-Body (DTD)
- Lukas Sedlak – Ankle (IR)
Carlsson made the trip to Florida with the team, but isn’t expected to play tonight. It’s likely that he returns against Tampa Bay on Saturday though. Atkinson didn’t make the trip due to an Illness, but he’ll probably be back for the Rangers game on Monday.
Florida Panthers
- Connor Brickley – Upper-Body (DTD)
- Roberto Luongo – Hand (IR)
- Jared McCann – Lower-Body (IR)
- Colton Sceviour – Upper-Body (DTD)
With Luongo hurt, it’s not hard to figure out why the Panthers let up eight goals against Tampa.
