Donovan Sebrango - Slated to play Thursday Sebrango (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup Thursday versus the Bruins, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Sebrango was facing an injury concern, but he checked out fine after the contest and shouldn't miss time. The 24-year-old will likely get to continue seeing top-four minutes after Aaron Ekblad (hand) and Dmitry Kulikov (face) were ruled out for Thursday. Sebrango has two assists over his last six games but has yet to see an uptick in power-play usage despite the Panthers' numerous injuries.

Dmitry Kulikov - Out of action Thursday Kulikov (face) won't play Thursday versus the Bruins, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Kulikov's CT scan results haven't been revealed, but he is hurt enough to sit out of a game that has no impact for the Panthers. The 35-year-old will join Aaron Ekblad (hand) as the most recent injuries for the Panthers. Mikulas Hovorka and Tobias Bjornfot will take their places in the lineup Thursday.

Aaron Ekblad - Set to sit out Thursday Ekblad (hand) is not expected to play Thursday versus the Bruins, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Ekblad hurt his hand blocking a shot and will miss at least one more game. Given how late in the season it is, he may ultimately be shut down early if he has sustained even a moderate injury. Tobias Bjornfot and Mikulas Hovorka were called up from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday to provide reinforcements on the blue line.

Mikulas Hovorka - Promoted from minors Hovorka was called up from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.

Impact Hovorka made his NH debut Feb. 5 versus the Lightning and could be in line to play in Thursday's clash with the Bruins. In the minors, the 24-year-old defenseman has tallied four goals and 12 assists in 53 contests. The Czech native will be hard-pressed to offer much in the way of fantasy value, given his limited offensive upside.
