Luostarinen had a goal and two assists in a 6-3 win over the Capitals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was an empty netter, but it still counts the same as any other goal. Luostarinen went seven games without a point to start the season, but he has more than made up for that with 10 points, including seven assists, in his last 10 games.

Luostarinen scored a power-play goal, added four PIM and logged four hits in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen's offense is warming up -- he's earned all five of his points (two goals, three assists) over the last six games. The 27-year-old winger is also in a top-six role with power-play time currently, which gives him a better chance of sustaining his recent success. Through 13 outings, he's produced 20 shots on net, 33 hits, six PIM and a minus-1 rating. Should Luostarinen remain in the power-play mix, he has the potential to have a breakout season as a power winger.

Luostarinen scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Bruins. He also added four shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen not only snapped his seven-game point drought Tuesday, but he also did it by finding the back of the net midway through the third period to give the Panthers a transitory 3-2 lead. The 27-year-old forward has been unable to step up due to the absences of Matthew Tkachuk (groin) and Aleksander Barkov (knee), but maybe this goal could be the starter he needs to get things going.

Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen set up Brad Marchand's game-winning tally at 5:12 of the third period before scoring the empty-netter to close out the win. The goal was Luostarinen's first since Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He's been good against the Oilers with a goal and four assists over five contests, giving him 18 points, 33 shots on net, 84 hits, 25 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-11 rating across 22 playoff outings.

Luostarinen notched an assist and five hits in Friday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. He was ejected from one contest and injured in another during that span, which partially explains his struggles on offense recently. The 26-year-old has still put together a strong postseason with 14 points, 23 shots on net, 79 hits, 23 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 19 appearances in a third-line role.

Luostarinen (undisclosed) is expected to be ready to play in the Stanley Cup Finals, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cup Finals don't have a defined start date yet, but it's expected Luostarinen will have at least a week to rest up and get ready for the next round after the Panthers clinched their spot in Game 5 on Wednesday. Assuming he doesn't have a setback, he should continue to fill a third-line role.

Luostarinen (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen was hurt in the first period after an awkward crash into the boards following a missed hit. He was ruled out for the rest of the game during the second period. If Luostarinen misses additional time, Jesper Boqvist or Nico Sturm appear to be the most likely players to take his spot in the lineup.

Luostarinen scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists, added four hits and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen set up Anton Lundell's game-winning goal at 7:18 of the second period. In the third, Luostarinen added a tip-in goal and also fed Brad Marchand for the empty-netter. It's been a fairly effective postseason for Luostarinen, who is up to three goals, nine assists, 16 shots on net, 54 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 12 playoff outings. It's a luxury for the Panthers to have him with Lundell and Marchand on the third line, giving the team plenty of depth to contend with the Hurricanes' stout defense in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Luostarinen picked up two assists Wednesday in the Panthers' 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 2 of their second-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has caught fire on the Panthers' third line alongside Anton Lundell and Brad Marchand -- Luostarinen set up tallies by each of them Wednesday, and all three have four-game point streaks going. Luostarinen has collected two goals and eight points during his heater, but Florida will need more scoring from its big guns if it's going to rebound from a 2-0 series deficit.

Luostarinen scored a goal on three shots, added three assists, logged four hits and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen became the fifth player in Panthers history to have at least four points in a playoff game, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Luostarinen's line with Anton Lundell and Brad Marchand finished the game with a total of two goals and nine points as the Panthers knocked out their in-state rivals. Over five playoff contests, Luostarinen has five points, a plus-6 rating, five shots on net, 20 hits and six blocked shots. He continues to be a valuable depth forward for a championship-caliber team, but scoring explosions like the one he had Wednesday are few and far between.
