Pysyk tallied an assist for his third point in two games during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

It is the first time this season that Pysyk has registered a point in back-to-back games after he registered his first multi-point game of the season in Saturday's loss. The 27-year-old defenseman doesn't add much offensively, but he has good peripherals as he is second on the Panthers in both hits (113) and blocks (76).

Pysyk notched an assist during Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

It has been 10 games since Pysyk last collected a point, as he now has seven points -- all assists -- in 45 games this season. He did manage to end the night a plus-2 with a season-high 24:58 in ice time.

Pysyk collected five hits during a 5-1 loss to the Penguins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Although Pysyk has been a physical presence on the Panthers, currently fourth on the team with 61 hits, he has not made an impact in the offensive zone. Through 30 games the 26-year-old has five points, all assists, while collecting a minus-two rating.

Pysyk recorded an assist during a 4-3 loss to the Blues on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The assist marks Pysyk's first point since mid-October as the blueliner has gone 12 games without a point on top of missing time with an injury. He has three points in total on the season and is on pace to end his season in the mid-teens in points as he has the past two seasons.

Pysyk started for the first time in 11 games in a 4-2 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

His first six games were missed due to an upper-body injury, but Pysyk has been a healthy scratch since then. Head coach Bob Boughner was happy with how his defense was playing until the Panthers got blown out 7-3 by the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Pysyk registered one shot and three hits against the Rangers.

Pysyk (upper body) has been cleared to play, but will remain out of the lineup against the Oilers on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pysyk is coming off a six-game absence due to his upper-body issue and will have to wait at least one more night in order to rejoin the lineup. Prior to getting hurt, the blueline was averaging 18:55 of ice time, in which he tallied two helpers, five shots and six blocks. Whenever Pysyk gets back onto the ice, it will likely be in favor of Bogdan Kiselevich or MacKenzie Weegar.

According to coach Bob Boughner, Pysyk (upper body) has "turned a corner" and will likely be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with Edmonton, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pysyk has missed the Panthers' last six games due to an upper-body injury, so if he's able to return Thursday, he'll likely have some rust to shake off early on. The 26-year-old blueliner enjoyed a nice start to the season, notching two assists in five contests, so he might be worth a league in deeper leagues if he's able to stay healthy.

Pysyk (upper body) will miss a seventh straight game as he'll sit out Thursday's home clash with the Oilers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

To be clear, Panthers coach Bob Boughner didn't explicitly rule out Pysyk for Thursday's contest, but he did say the defenseman is "still not good to go," which strongly suggests that the seventh-year skate will sit the next one out. Still, even though Pysyk has been out since Oct. 19, he remains on the active roster rather than injured reserve.

Pysyk (upper body) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Pysyk will miss a sixth consecutive game Friday, and the Panthers have yet to release any details regarding a potential timetable for his return to action. The 26-year-old blueliner can be considered out indefinitely until he's cleared to practice.

Pysyk (upper body) will not be in the starting lineup Thursday against the Jets, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pysyk has yet to play a game since being hit up high by Alex Ovechkin on Oct. 19. He is with the team in Finland however, so it is possible he steps on the ice for Friday's game against the Jets.
