Florida Panthers

Cole Schwindt

RW

Schwindt will miss one more game, Thursday in Boston, but head coach Paul Maurice said that Schwindt should be in the lineup Saturday. The 24-year-old has missed 16 games ahead of Thursday's tilt and has three goals and an assist in 22 appearances this season. He should play on the fourth unit Saturday.

Aaron Ekblad

D

Head coach Paul Maurice said that Ekblad would be out "weeks" and with only two weeks remaining in the regular season and the Panthers all but eliminated from playoff contention, it is likely the end of the campaign for the 30-year-old blueliner. Ekblad will end the season with four goals, 22 assists, 84 hits and 103 blocked shots across 72 regular-season games in 2025-26.

Jonah Gadjovich

LW

Gadjovich hasn't been in the lineup since late October. The 27-year-old appeared in only 10 games in 2025-26, chipping in three helpers, 30 hits and a plus-2 rating. It remains to be seen how he has been progressing in his recovery.

Sam Reinhart

C

The Panthers have been dealing with a slew of injuries, and Reinhart is one of several players who will likely be shut down for the rest of this year. The goal-scoring winger will conclude the 2025-26 campaign with 29 markers, including six game-winners, 61 points (25 on the power play), 166 shots and a minus-18 rating over 64 appearances. While it's not currently known how his recovery process is going, Reinhart should have more than enough time to be ready for the start of training camp in September ahead of the 2026-27 season.
