In action against Wings Sturm (upper body) will play versus Detroit on Thursday, per NHL.com.

Impact Sturm will slide into a third-line role in his first outing back following a four-game stint on the shelf. Considering the 29-year-old German has gone 11 games without a goal and managed just one helper over that stretch, his reintroduction into the lineup is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Will miss at least one more game Sturm (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Toronto, according to Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post.

Impact Sturm will miss his fourth consecutive game Tuesday, but he is closing in on a return to game action -- Guy relayed that Sturm will be available for Thursday's game versus Detroit. Sturm has struggled offensively this season, especially of late, having recorded just one assist over 11 games prior to sustaining his upper-body injury.

Slated to miss two more games Head coach Paul Maurice said Friday that Sturm (upper body) should be available when the team returns home to Florida for Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs, Katie Engleson of...

Impact Although Sturm's return timetable appears to be coming into focus, he's slated to miss Saturday's game against Ottawa and Sunday's matchup against Detroit. The 29-year-old is dealing with an upper-body injury that he sustained in Tuesday's game against the Canadiens. Tomas Nosek will likely remain in the lineup during the Panthers' next two games.

Won't play vs. Toronto Sturm (upper body) will miss Wednesday's clash against Toronto, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Sturm was injured during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal. He has seven goals, 14 points and 98 hits in 58 outings between San Jose and Florida this season. Tomas Nosek is expected to draw into the lineup.

Sustains injury early Tuesday Sturm (upper body) was injured in the first period of Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' o...

Impact Sturm collided with A.J. Greer in the first period, and Sturm got the worst of it, falling face-first to the ice. Head coach Paul Maurice won't have an update on Sturm's status until Wednesday. The Panthers play the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, and if Sturm can't suit up, Tomas Nosek will likely get back into the lineup after a nine-game stint as a healthy scratch.

APRIL 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First point with new team Sturm registered an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact The helper was Sturm's first point in seven contests with the Panthers. He's slotted into a fourth-line role, mostly bumping Tomas Nosek out of the lineup. Sturm is at seven goals, seven assists, 48 shots on net, 90 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 54 appearances between the Panthers and the Sharks, so he's not an option for most fantasy managers.
