Luostarinen notched an even-strength assist in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Rangers in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen had been held off the scoresheet in seven consecutive outings before helping out on Anton Lundell's third-period tally. Luostarinen added two shots, one block, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 16:15 of ice time. The 25-year-old has been struggling when it comes to finding the back of the net -- he has the lowest shooting percentage among Florida's forwards that have at least 20 shots on goal during the postseason. The Finland native has five points (one goal) and a plus-1 rating in 16 postseason appearances.

Luostarinen notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen's goal drought is now at 17 games, but he has nine assists in that span. Two of those helpers have come over the last two contests, accounting for all of his playoff production through five outings. The winger has added 17 hits, six shots on net, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating while filling a third-line role in the postseason.

Luostarinen supplied an assist and five hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning for Game 4 of the conference quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

We'd be surprised if Luostarinen is ever the first player to come to mind when thinking about the Panthers roster, but the 25-year-old winger has 16 hits in this opening series. Indeed, physicality is always encouraged by teams chasing the Stanley Cup, and it should be known that Luostarinen is by no means devoid of offense. The Finn averaged 35 points between the last two regular seasons in a middle-six role, making him a sneaky option for playoff pools.

Luostarinen notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen has just one goal and two assists in his last eight contests while recording 13 shots on net. The winger is currently filling a first-line role due to Aleksander Barkov (undisclosed) being out, but Luostarinen is far from a lock to maintain that assignment heading into the final weeks of the regular season. In addition to his even-strength role, Luostarinen has been spending time with the No. 2 power-play unit, though that hasn't helped to bolster his offense.

Luostarinen scored a goal on one shot in a 4-2 win over Washington on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen needs just one more tally to reach the 10-goal threshold but is unlikely to repeat his 2022-23 total, as he scored 17 times in 82 games. Additionally, the 25-year-old winger is on pace to miss the 25-point mark for the first time since his rookie campaign, when he notched just eight points in 44 games.

Luostarinen scored twice on the power play in a 4-1 win over Montreal on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was the forward's first multi-goal game in the NHL (248 games). Luostarinen is a third-line fixture in Florida with limited fantasy value. He caught lightning in a bottle last season with 43 points, including 17 goals, in 82 games. But this year, Luostarinen has fallen back to earth, and he's on a 23-point pace. Nice game, but we're not sure there's reason here to roster him.

Luostarinen scored his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

He spoiled Joel Hofer's shutout bid midway through the second period with a billiard shot -- Luostarinen's dump-in attempt took a strange carom off the glass right by the Panthers' bench and went straight into the net while Hofer waited for the puck behind the cage. Three of Luostarinen's five goals on the season have come in the last seven games, but those are the checking-line winger's only points in December.

Luostarinen provided a goal in a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen's marker came early in the third period and proved to be the game-winner. It was his third tally and sixth point in 26 contests this season, which is way down from his 2022-23 finish of 17 goals and 43 points in 82 appearances. That offensive decline is despite Luostarinen averaging 16:08 of ice time this year, which is roughly in line with his 15:59 last season. We're likely too deep into the season for the 25-year-old to recover to the point of matching his 2022-23 totals, but he should be able to increase his offensive pace at least somewhat as the campaign progresses.

Luostarinen collected a goal in a 5-0 win over Ottawa on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen has two goals and five points through 21 contests this season. He's getting a solid amount of ice time with Florida -- an average of 16:11 per game going into Monday's action -- but he doesn't have a regular role on the power play. That's unlikely to change unless the Panthers run into injury troubles, which significantly limits Luostarinen's offensive potential for the 2023-24 campaign.

Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen got his first goal of the campaign at 14:50 of the first period. The 25-year-old has made limited contributions on offense this season while skating in a middle-six role. He's up to three points 22 shots on net, 18 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances. He had 43 points in 82 appearances last year, so it's possible he could unlock more offense as the season goes on.
