TOMAS NOSEK NEWS

Set to return for Game 1 Nosek (rest) will be available for Game 1 of Florida's first-round series in the playoffs, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Nosek dealt with an illness late in the season, and he was out for rest purposes during Tuesday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay. However, head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday that Nosek should be able to suit up to begin the playoffs. Nosek made 59 regular-season appearances this year and recorded a goal, eight assists, 83 hits and 24 blocked shots while averaging 9:49 of ice time.

Back out of lineup Nosek (rest) won't play Tuesday versus the Lightning, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Nosek returned from an illness Monday versus the Rangers. The Panthers have nothing to play for Tuesday, so they'll allow him to rest up again ahead of the playoffs. The 32-year-old will compete for bottom-six minutes during the postseason, though he's not a lock for the lineup.

Impact Nosek was unavailable for Saturday's game against Buffalo, but he should be back in action following a one-game absence. The 32-year-old has made five appearances this month, recording no points and racking up 18 hits while averaging 11:42 of ice time.

Out Saturday Nosek (illness) won't play Saturday against Buffalo, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact Nosek will miss at least one game as he recovers from an illness. The veteran forward, who's been stuck in a 20-game point drought, has one goal and nine points in 58 games this season. He'll look to return Monday when the Panthers host the Rangers.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Still cold on offense Nosek's point drought is up to 20 games after he was held scoreless in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Spring hasn't brought any heat to Nosek's scoring. During the drought, he has just 16 shots on net and a minus-2 rating, though he has doled out 40 hits. The 32-year-old is in a bottom-six role when he plays, and he was scratched nine straight times between March 13 and April 1. Sam Bennett's (upper body) absence will likely keep Nosek in the lineup for the rest of the regular season, but he could get pinched out in the postseason. He has managed a mere nine points with 45 shots on net and 81 hits over 58 appearances.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Languishing in point drought Nosek's point drought reached 12 games in Monday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

Impact Nosek hasn't added much else during his slump -- he has 20 hits, eight shots on net, four PIM and a minus-1 rating in that span. The 32-year-old is filling a bottom-six role currently. He's been limited to nine points, 37 shots on net, 61 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 50 appearances in his first year with the Panthers.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Lends helper in win Nosek notched an assist and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Nosek set up an A.J. Greer tally in the second period to spark a four-goal frame for the Panthers. With four helpers over his last four games, Nosek is starting to get more involved on offense despite his fourth-line role. He's at nine points, 29 shots on net, 41 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 38 appearances this season. The 32-year-old is unlikely to sustain significant scoring numbers and doesn't need to be tracked in most fantasy formats.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Adds pair of assists Nosek recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Nosek will be sad to be done with the Ducks this season -- the 32-year-old had an 11-game point drought prior to playing against them Saturday. He's since logged three helpers over the two-game season series. It's possible this jump-starts Nosek's offense, but the veteran forward remains in a fourth-line role and is unlikely to be a consistent scorer most of the time. He's now at eight points, 28 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-7 rating through 36 appearances.

Ends slump with helper Nosek notched an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact The helper ended an 11-game point drought for Nosek. He set up Jesper Boqvist for the opening tally at 11:22 of the second period. The 32-year-old Nosek has been a bottom-six fixture for the Panthers this season, giving him limited opportunities to contribute on offense. He's at six points, 28 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 35 appearances, but he's also averaging a meager 9:16 of ice time.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up helper Sunday Nosek produced a shorthanded assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Nosek ended a six-game slump with the helper on A.J. Greer's second-period goal. The 32-year-old Nosek has spent the majority of the campaign in a fourth-line role, and that's not helping him generate more offense. He has five points, 19 shots on net, 29 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 23 appearances.

Sends assist in win Nosek produced an assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Nosek ended a seven-game point drought when he set up the second of Matthew Tkachuk's tallies Saturday. He's held a consistent spot in the bottom six, though Nosek doesn't typically score enough to earn interest in fantasy. He's at four points, 14 shots on net, 20 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 16 outings this season, and he's currently centering the fourth line.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes helper Nosek logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Nosek snapped a four-game drought with the helper. The 32-year-old has seen steady bottom-six usage and has also received a little time on the second power-play unit since his return from an upper-body injury. He has three points, eight shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first career power-play goal Nosek scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Nosek has two points over his first three games this season. His tally Thursday was his first career power-play goal, and just his second ever point with the man advantage over parts of 10 seasons. The 32-year-old is centering the Panthers' fourth line, and he likely only received power-play time Thursday because the team was cruising to a lopsided win. He'll have a little scoring upside given the strength of the team's offense, but it's unlikely to be enough for consideration in fantasy.

Gets on scoresheet with helper Nosek notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Finland.

Impact This was Nosek's second game of the season after he missed all of October due to an upper-body injury. He's slotted into a bottom-six role to begin his first year with the Panthers, and given the team's center depth, he's unlikely to get a look higher in the lineup without a move to the wing. He's added one shot on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating over his two appearances.

Suitting up Friday Nosek (upper body) will be in the lineup to face the Stars on Friday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Nosek, as expected, will make his 2024-25 season debut after missing the first 11 games of the year due to his upper-body injury. With the 32-year-old forward available, he is poised to move into the fourth-line center role while Patrick Giles is relegated to a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Nearing return to action Nosek (upper body) looks poised to suit up against the Stars on Friday after coach Paul Maurice told reporters, "Assuming he gets through the morning skate and feels good, we'll ac...

Impact Nosek will make his season debut after missing the Devils' opening 11 games of the campaign. The veteran center will slot into a fourth-line role alongside A.J. Greer and Mackie Samoskevich, a move that will relegate Patrick Giles to the press box. For his part, Nosek saw action in 36 games for New Jersey last year in which he generated two goals and four assists. Having never topped the 20-point mark in his career, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting a ton of offense out of Nosek this season.

Impact Nosek was injured early in training camp and placed on long-term injured reserve at the start of the regular season. Nosek signed a one-year contract with the Panthers in the offseason, after picking up two goals and four assists in 36 regular-season appearances with the Devils in 2023-24. He will see fourth line minutes upon his return.

Transfers to LTIR Nosek (upper body) was transferred to long-term injured reserve on Friday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Nosek was placed on injured reserve Monday, and now he'll be out for the remainder of October. He was deemed week-to-week as of Tuesday. Nosek won't count against the Panthers' cap while he's on LTIR, allowing the team to call up Patrick Giles to help cover for the absence of Aleksander Barkov (lower body).

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled week-to-week Nosek (upper body) is considered week-to-week and is expected to miss at least the next seven games after GM Bill Zito said "but not next week," per Jameson Olive of the Panthers'...

Impact Nosek has already been designated for injured reserve, so his timeline shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Still, the 32-year-old forward was expected to slot into a bottom-six role for the Panthers after signing a one-year deal with the club in the offseason. With Nosek on the shelf, Jonah Gadjovich and A.J. Greer could see some extra opportunities.

Placed on IR Nosek (upper body) landed on injured reserve Monday, according to PuckPedia.

Impact Nosek will miss the start of the campaign after he went hard into the boards in a Sept. 23 preseason contest against Nashville. The 32-year-old signed a one-year deal with Florida in July. Nosek will battle for a fourth-line role when he returns to full strength.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to miss start of season Per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site, Nosek (upper body) is still not close to returning, coach Paul Maurice said Friday.

Impact Nosek was injured Sept. 23 in a game versus Nashville, as he went hard into the boards after he was tripped. The 32-year-old veteran was competing for a spot on the fourth line. Nosek had a pair of goals and four assists in 36 regular-season games with the Devils last season.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injured against Nashville Nosek is battling an upper-body injury and will miss some time as a result, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Tuesday.

Impact Nosek went hard into the boards in Sunday's preseason game after being tripped by a Nashville player. The injury will keep him sidelined for weeks, but coach Paul Maurice specified that it is not a concussion. Nosek was expected to compete for Florida's fourth-line center role, so it'll be an interesting situation to keep tabs on as the season approaches. The 32-year-old has generated 107 points in 434 regular-season contests throughout his nine-year NHL career.
