Luostarinen scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-1 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

He was in position at the top of the crease when Morgan Rielly's clearing attempt from behind the net went right to his stick. Luostarinen jammed it past Joseph Woll with a backhander. The goal stood as the winner. It was his first in 19 games. Luostarinen isn't known for his offense -- he has just nine goals, 23 points and 83 shots in 77 games this season. Let him languish on the wire.

Luostarinen registered a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen did not get the dad strength bump after missing a Feb. 25 gave in Nashville due to the birth of his child. He followed that absence with an eight-game point drought, which he snapped with a helper on an Aleksander Barkov goal in the second period of Sunday's contest. Luostarinen is up to 21 points, 73 shots on net, 144 hits, 48 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 67 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

Luostarinen won't travel with the team for Tuesday's matchup with Nashville while awaiting the birth of his child, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen has scored just once in his last 16 outings while adding three assists, 31 hits and 20 shots. With Luostarinen on the shelf, the Panthers will recall a forward from AHL Charlotte, perhaps Rasmus Asplund or Patrick Giles. It remains to be seen if Luostarinen will be available for Thursday's game against the Oilers.

Luostarinen scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen ended a 15-game goal drought with the tally. In that span, he was limited to three assists, though he added 29 hits and a plus-5 rating. Luostarinen is a role player on the Panthers' third line, adding some physicality and a defensive mindset. He's up to 20 points, 64 shots on net, 122 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances. He's likely to land closer to last year's 27-point regular season than the 43-point effort he had in 2022-23.

Luostarinen notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen snapped his eight-game point drought with the helper -- he had previously been credited with an assist versus the Ducks on Tuesday, but it was later taken away. The 26-year-old winger is up to 17 points, 56 shots on net, 107 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 51 appearances. Luostarinen continues to play in a second-line role, though his offense and ice time often hasn't matched the expectations that come with that kind of placement in the lineup.

Luostarinen notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The helper snapped a five-game slump for Luostarinen. Even with a move to the second line in recent contests, he's done little more than provide depth offense. The 26-year-old is at seven goals, 10 assists, 55 shots on net, 102 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 48 appearances, which is production good enough to make Luostarinen an option in deep fantasy formats.

Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal and added two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen had the Panthers' second empty-netter to put this game to rest. He has four goals and an assist over his last 11 contests, though this was his first goal over four outings in January. The 26-year-old forward is at seven tallies, 16 points, 44 shots on net, 91 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 42 appearances. Physicality and a spot in a strong offense makes Luostarinen interesting in deeper fantasy formats, but he doesn't score enough to help in standard formats.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen has been effective in a second-line role recently, picking up three goals and an assist over his last seven games.

Luostarinen is at six goals, 15 points, 40 shots on net, 85 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 38 appearances. He's a depth scorer with a physical edge for fantasy purposes.

EDGE Analysis
