All clear for Monday Luostarinen (undisclosed) will be available to play in Monday's road clash against the Sabres, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.

Impact Luostarinen was hit by a shot attempt and underwent an evaluation following Saturday's game against the Wild, but he returned to practice Sunday and confirmed he is feeling good. The 28-year-old winger also mentioned that he would've returned to Saturday's clash if he was hit by the puck earlier in the game. To begin the 2026-27 season, Luostarinen has two goals, eight shots on net, nine hits and five blocked shots across five outings. He'll likely return to his role as the team's second-line left winger for Monday's game against the Sabres.

Leaves Saturday's game Luostarinen (undisclosed) will be evaluated Sunday after exiting Saturday's game versus the Wild, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Luostarinen was struck by a shot from a teammate in the third period. The 28-year-old will get checked out and can be considered day-to-day leading up to Monday's contest against the Sabres. If he can't play, the Panthers will either need to make a call-up or dress seven blueliners to fill out the lineup.

OCTOBER 2 • NHL.COM

Pots pair of goals in overtime loss Luostarinen scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Impact Luostarinen had the Panthers' first two goals of the contest. The 28-year-old forward has added four shots on net and four hits over two games this season. He's seeing time on the third line, though he could be a candidate for power-play usage if Aleksander Barkov (leg) gets bad news with his injury evaluation after leaving Thursday's game early. Luostarinen has enough physicality to be useful in deeper fantasy formats, but he's topped the 40-point mark just once in his five full-length seasons.

Adds muscle in offseason Luostarinen focused on adding muscle during the offseason, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports Friday.

Impact Luostarinen is slated to be on the third line to begin 2026-27, though he has occasionally moved up in the lineup. The longer offseason created by the Panthers missing the playoffs last spring opened the door for Luostarinen to do more in his offseason workouts. He has recorded at least 24 points in each of the last five years, so he'll have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Impact Luostarinen appeared in 73 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign -- his lowest mark since the 2020-21 season -- but remained productive, logging 11 goals, 22 assists, 121 hits, 57 blocked shots and 32 PIM while averaging 16:34 of ice time.

Racks up three points in win Luostarinen scored a goal, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact As one of the Panthers' few regulars who hasn't joined the walking wounded, Luostarinen has been pressed into a top-line role. He opened the scoring just 23 seconds into this game before helping out on goals by Mackie Samoskevich and A.J. Greer in the third period. Luostarinen has five points over his last three contests, giving him 11 goals, 32 points, 106 shots on net, 120 hits, 57 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 71 outings. Assuming the Panthers don't have lingering long-term issues for 2026-27, Luostarinen will likely revert to a defensively-inclined middle-six role next season.

Impact He redirected a point shot in the third to put the Panthers up 3-2. Luostarinen has 10 goals, 18 assists, 102 shots and 118 hits in 69 games this season. That's his best offensive output since his career mark of 43 points set in 2022-23. The points-hits combo can make Luostarinen a fantasy fit in the bottom forward roster spot in deep leagues.
