Impact Luostarinen has scored just once in his last 16 outings while recording only 20 shots. The 26-year-old winger did add three helpers during that stretch while dishing out 31 hits.

Impact Luostarinen ended a 15-game goal drought with the tally. In that span, he was limited to three assists, though he added 29 hits and a plus-5 rating. Luostarinen is a role player on the Panthers' third line, adding some physicality and a defensive mindset. He's up to 20 points, 64 shots on net, 122 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances. He's likely to land closer to last year's 27-point regular season than the 43-point effort he had in 2022-23.

Records helper in loss Luostarinen notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

The 26-year-old winger is up to 17 points, 56 shots on net, 107 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 51 appearances. Luostarinen continues to play in a second-line role, though his offense and ice time often hasn't matched the expectations that come with that kind of placement in the lineup.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lends assist Luostarinen notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact The helper snapped a five-game slump for Luostarinen. Even with a move to the second line in recent contests, he's done little more than provide depth offense. The 26-year-old is at seven goals, 10 assists, 55 shots on net, 102 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 48 appearances, which is production good enough to make Luostarinen an option in deep fantasy formats.

JANUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fills empty cage Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal and added two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

Impact Luostarinen had the Panthers' second empty-netter to put this game to rest. He has four goals and an assist over his last 11 contests, though this was his first goal over four outings in January. The 26-year-old forward is at seven tallies, 16 points, 44 shots on net, 91 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 42 appearances. Physicality and a spot in a strong offense makes Luostarinen interesting in deeper fantasy formats, but he doesn't score enough to help in standard formats.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring Monday Luostarinen scored a goal and added three hits in Monday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Luostarinen has been effective in a second-line role recently, picking up three goals and an assist over his last seven games.

Luostarinen is at six goals, 15 points, 40 shots on net, 85 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 38 appearances. He's a depth scorer with a physical edge for fantasy purposes.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores shorthanded goal Luostarinen scored a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Luostarinen gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead in the second period, and his shortie came 42 seconds after A.J. Greer's own shorthanded goal. The 26-year-old winger has been productive in recent games and has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last four appearances, tallying two goals and a helper in that span.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tacks on goal in blowout win Luostarinen scored a goal on three shots, added four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Luostarinen has a goal and an assist over his last two games while seeing a slightly larger role to cover for recent illness absences for Aleksander Barkov and Sam Bennett. The 26-year-old Luostarinen is worth a look as a streaming option or in deeper formats while he's playing on the second line, but he'll likely drop back to the third line when the Panthers get healthy. The Finn has four goals, 13 points, 37 shots on net, 75 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 33 contests.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes helper in win Luostarinen logged an assist, six hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

Impact Luostarinen helped out on Niko Mikkola's game-tying goal in the third period. The assist snapped a six-game dry spell for Luostarinen, who remains in a middle-six role. He's picked up power-play time while Aleksander Barkov (illness) has been out of the lineup for two games, but Luostarinen doesn't regularly play with the man advantage. The power winger has 12 points, 34 shots on net, 71 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 32 appearances this season.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Notches pair of assists in win Luostarinen recorded two assists and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Luostarinen has three helpers over the last two contests, a quick reversal from his nine-game point drought. The third-line winger helped out on a shorthanded Anton Lundell goal and Sam Bennett's empty-netter in the third period as the Panthers ran away with this win. For the season, Luostarinen has 10 points, 28 shots on net, 46 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 24 appearances. He's more of a defensive forward, but he can chip in enough offense to be considered in deeper fantasy formats.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on scoresheet with helper Luostarinen logged an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Luostarinen snapped his nine-game point drought with the helper on Mackie Samoskevich's first-period tally. The 26-year-old Luostarinen has mostly played on the third line since the Panthers weathered some early injury absences in October. The Finn has eight points, 27 shots on net, 46 hits, 17 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 23 contests, but he'll need to prove himself steadier on offense to be an option in more fantasy formats.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in helper Monday Luostarinen notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Luostarinen posted a helper in a third straight game, but offense is going to be tough to come by moving forward. Following the returns of Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov from their respective absences, Luostarinen is now in a third-line role with no path to consistent power-play time. He saw a season-low 11:43 of ice time Monday and will likely continue to play on the third line. The Finn has six points, 16 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances, but his fantasy value will be limited to deeper formats with the Panthers near full strength up front.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again Saturday Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact There was plenty of ice time available for Luostarinen in a 10-forward lineup, and he logged a season-high 21:47. The 26-year-old has two goals over his last three games, and he's up to three tallies over seven contests this season. He's yet to record an assist, but the Finn has added 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating while playing in a middle-six role.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Buries game-winner Luostarinen scored a goal and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Luostarinen's third-period tally was the game-winner. The forward has seen increased ice time in the absences of Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness), though Luostarinen is likely to drop back onto the third line when the Panthers are healthy. The 26-year-old has two goals, seven shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nets first-period goal Luostarinen scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Bruins.

Impact Luostarinen gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead at 7:31 of the first period. The 26-year-old forward took a step back last year, going from 43 points in 2022-23 to 27 points in 2023-24 despite similar ice time. He begins this season in a third-line role with no power-play minutes, but the physical Finn could be an option to enter the top six when injuries arise.

The 25-year-old forward is up to eight points, 24 shots on net, 55 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff contests.
