That won't be the case, with Zac Dalpe instead projected to join the lineup in a bottom-six role. Luostarinen can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's Game 2.

Pots game-winner in Game 6 Luostarinen scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Friday's 7-5 win over the Bruins during Game 6 of the Panthers' first-round series.

Impact Both points came in a wild third period that featured seven of the game's 12 total goals, but Luostarinen's tally was far from a fluke. After Brandon Montour intercepted a Boston clearing attempt, the 24-year-old winger collected the puck at the blue line, skated to the far faceoff circle and went top shelf with a snapshot over Linus Ullmark. Luostarinen has two goals and four points in the last five games to help Florida force an improbable Game 7 against the NHL's best team during the regular season, a showdown which will come Sunday in Boston.

Impact Luostarinen was held off the scoresheet over his previous four games. He had 17 goals and 43 points in 82 outings during the regular season. Luostarinen's marker came on an empty net late in the third period and pushed Florida's lead up to 6-2.

One of each Friday Luostarinen scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Luostarinen reached the 20-assist mark on Sam Bennett's tally to get the Panthers on the board in the third period. Just over four minutes later, it was Luostarinen who put them ahead 3-2. Since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old has leveled up his offense with six goals and eight helpers over 14 contests. He's at 16 tallies, 36 points, 109 shots on net, a plus-21 rating, 52 hits and 44 blocked shots through 66 outings overall. His spot on the top line should help him continue to play well, though he's been in and out of the power-play mix this season.

Impact The 24-year-old moved into a top-six role in February and never looked back, racking up four goals and 11 points over 10 games on the month.
