Luostarinen scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Friday's 7-5 win over the Bruins during Game 6 of the Panthers' first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in a wild third period that featured seven of the game's 12 total goals, but Luostarinen's tally was far from a fluke. After Brandon Montour intercepted a Boston clearing attempt, the 24-year-old winger collected the puck at the blue line, skated to the far faceoff circle and went top shelf with a snapshot over Linus Ullmark. Luostarinen has two goals and four points in the last five games to help Florida force an improbable Game 7 against the NHL's best team during the regular season, a showdown which will come Sunday in Boston.

Luostarinen scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen reached the 20-assist mark on Sam Bennett's tally to get the Panthers on the board in the third period. Just over four minutes later, it was Luostarinen who put them ahead 3-2. Since the All-Star break, the 24-year-old has leveled up his offense with six goals and eight helpers over 14 contests. He's at 16 tallies, 36 points, 109 shots on net, a plus-21 rating, 52 hits and 44 blocked shots through 66 outings overall. His spot on the top line should help him continue to play well, though he's been in and out of the power-play mix this season.

Luostarinen scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old moved into a top-six role in February and never looked back, racking up four goals and 11 points over 10 games on the month. It's not clear how long Luostarinen might keep that assignment, as it came with both Aleksander Barkov (hand) and Sam Bennett (lower body) missing some time this month, but the younger forward has already put together a career-best season with 14 goals and 33 points through 62 games.

Luostarinen provided a pair of assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen assisted on Marc Staal's goal in the second period before setting up Carter Verhaeghe for the overtime winner. The 24-year-old Luostarinen has played well of late, posting eight points (three goals, five assists) in his last eight contests. He's been centering Verhaeghe and Matthew Tkachuk on Florida's second line, though he could see his role reduced soon with Sam Bennett expected to return to the lineup Friday. Luostarinen has a career-high 30 points through 60 games this season, tallying 13 goals and 17 assists.

Luostarinen logged an assist and three hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Luostarinen's first point in seven games. The 24-year-old has reverted to a bottom-six role after picking up extra minutes when the Panthers had more injuries up front. He reached the 20-point mark in his 43rd game of the campaign, and he's added 72 shots on net, a plus-12 rating, 34 hits and 25 blocked shots as a defensively-responsible player.
