EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen has earned two goals and two assists over his last seven games. The 27-year-old winger has played on the top line lately due to the absences of Anton Lundell (upper body) and Brad Marchand (undisclosed), which have left the Panthers a little thin up front. Luostarinen is at 23 points, 72 shots on net, 93 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 46 contests this season. He's on track to reach the 30-point mark for just the second time in his career.

It was Luostarinen's first multi-point performance in 10 games since returning from a lower-body injury. He's produced three goals, 15 points, 61 hits, 43 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in 28 contests this campaign.

Luostarinen notched an assist in Saturday's 7-6 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen returned to the lineup after an eight-game absence stemming from burns on his lower body sustained in a barbecuing accident. He saw 18:03 of ice time and played on the top line. Luostarinen have some fantasy appeal as a power forward if he stays in that spot. For the season, he's earned three goals, 11 points, 33 shots on net, 43 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 19 appearances. Due to time already missed, he'll finish this regular season with his lowest games-played total since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen figures to be a candidate for injured reserve, considering he has already missed a game due to his lower-body injury. Including Cole Schwindt (arm), the Cats are now missing six forwards from the lineup. As such, look for Mackie Samoskevich to take Luostarinen's spot on the first line while Jack Devine makes his NHL debut against New Jersey on Thursday.
