Matthias was acquired in the Roberto Luongo trade but at this time appears to be no better than a third-line centre. Matthias has a history of being great in the month of March. In March, 2013 he had 11 goals and two assists (13 points) in 16 games, and already has three goals and two assists (five points) in two games in March. He is expected to centre the third line with David Booth and Tom Sestito likely on his wings.

Matthias, 26, has nine goals and seven assists (16 points) in 59 games with the Panthers this season. He set a career-high with 14 goals in last year's shortened season, but has taken a step back this year.

Matthias will center the third line with Tomas Kopecky and Jesse Winchester. Krys Barch comes out of the lineup to make room.

If Matthias can not play, Joey Crabb will likely make his Panthers debut.

Matthias was among the Panthers best players this past season. He posted 14 goals and seven assists (21 points) in 48 games.

Matthias has been one of the lone bright spots on the Panthers this season. He has recorded four goals, one assist and a plus-3 in his last seven games.

He could be an option for the rest of the season in deeper leagues.

Matthias draws back in on the third line. He scored 10 goals and 24 points in 78 games this season.

Matthias draws out for tonight's game. He scored 10 goals and 24 points in 78 games.

Matthias moves off the second scoring line to a checking unit. The Mississauga, Ontario native has seven goals and 16 points in 42 games.
