Purcell (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game, but will rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the Canadiens, Harvey Fialkov of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's a bit unclear where the Panthers intend to slot the veteran back into the lines, his return will certainly provide some extra depth to the team's bottom six. Purcell may see a slight decline in ice time with the move to a stronger forward group in Florida, but his presence on the team's power play keeps him a viable fantasy option in deeper season-long leagues and daily fantasy formats.
