Luostarinen scored a goal on three shots, added four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen has a goal and an assist over his last two games while seeing a slightly larger role to cover for recent illness absences for Aleksander Barkov and Sam Bennett. The 26-year-old Luostarinen is worth a look as a streaming option or in deeper formats while he's playing on the second line, but he'll likely drop back to the third line when the Panthers get healthy. The Finn has four goals, 13 points, 37 shots on net, 75 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 33 contests.

Luostarinen logged an assist, six hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen helped out on Niko Mikkola's game-tying goal in the third period. The assist snapped a six-game dry spell for Luostarinen, who remains in a middle-six role. He's picked up power-play time while Aleksander Barkov (illness) has been out of the lineup for two games, but Luostarinen doesn't regularly play with the man advantage. The power winger has 12 points, 34 shots on net, 71 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 32 appearances this season.

Luostarinen recorded two assists and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen has three helpers over the last two contests, a quick reversal from his nine-game point drought. The third-line winger helped out on a shorthanded Anton Lundell goal and Sam Bennett's empty-netter in the third period as the Panthers ran away with this win. For the season, Luostarinen has 10 points, 28 shots on net, 46 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 24 appearances. He's more of a defensive forward but can chip in enough offense to be an option in deeper fantasy formats.

Luostarinen logged an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen snapped his nine-game point drought with the helper on Mackie Samoskevich's first-period tally. The 26-year-old Luostarinen has mostly played on the third line since the Panthers weathered some early injury absences in October. The Finn has eight points, 27 shots on net, 46 hits, 17 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 23 contests, but he'll need to prove himself steadier on offense to be an option in more fantasy formats.

Luostarinen notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen posted a helper in a third straight game, but offense is going to be tough to come by moving forward. Following the returns of Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov from their respective absences, Luostarinen is now in a third-line role with no path to consistent power-play time. He saw a season-low 11:43 of ice time Monday and will likely continue to play on the third line. The Finn has six points, 16 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances, but his fantasy value will be limited to deeper formats with the Panthers near full strength up front.

Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
There was plenty of ice time available for Luostarinen in a 10-forward lineup, and he logged a season-high 21:47. The 26-year-old has two goals over his last three games, and he's up to three tallies over seven contests this season. He's yet to record an assist, but the Finn has added 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating while playing in a middle-six role.

Luostarinen scored a goal and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen's third-period tally was the game-winner. The forward has seen increased ice time in the absences of Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness), though Luostarinen is likely to drop back onto the third line when the Panthers are healthy. The 26-year-old has two goals, seven shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season.

Luostarinen scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead at 7:31 of the first period. The 26-year-old forward took a step back last year, going from 43 points in 2022-23 to 27 points in 2023-24 despite similar ice time. He begins this season in a third-line role with no power-play minutes, but the physical Finn could be an option to enter the top six when injuries arise.

Luostarinen recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen continues to make an impact from the third line with four points over his last five games. His offense has been streaky in the playoffs, but his place in the lineup has never been in doubt. The 25-year-old forward is up to eight points, 24 shots on net, 55 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff contests.

Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen has a goal and two assists over his last three games after finishing Saturday's win with an empty-netter. The 25-year-old forward continues to play on the Panthers' third line, so his scoring chances are likely to remain limited. He's picked up a decent seven points with 24 shots on net, 53 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 playoff contests in that supporting role.
