Luostarinen (undisclosed) will not be in Tuesday's lineup against the Lightning, per NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen has now missed three straight games to begin the 2021-22 campaign. There hasn't been much information on the 23-year-old's injury so he'll be considered questionable for Thursday's tilt with Colorado until another update is available.

According to coach Joel Quenneville, Luostarinen should be back on the ice "tomorrow or the next day," Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specific nature of Luostarinen's injury remains a mystery, but it's safe to assume he'll miss the Panthers' next two games at a minimum. The 23-year-old winger picked up eight points while posting a minus-11 rating in 44 games with Florida last season.

EDGE Analysis

Luostarinen mustered a single shot on goal in 14:21 of ice time during Monday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Over the last seven games, Luostarinen has gone pointless with only six shots and a minus-2. After starting the season in promising fashion -- even seeing time as the second-line center at points -- the 22-year-old has hit a rough patch. Head coach Joel Quenneville still likes the rookie enough to keep him as the third-line center, but don't expect much fantasy-wise from Luostarinen this season.

Luostarinen picked up an assist for the third straight game in Monday's 6-4 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Through 13 games in his first season with the Panthers, Luostarinen has two goals and four assists. The 22 -year-old has been a surprising offensive addition for the Panthers, who struggled to get depth scoring the past few seasons.

Luostarinen ended Friday's 2-1 win over the Predators with two shots, two hits and 16:40 in ice time.
EDGE Analysis
After coming in as the Panthrs' third-line center to start the game, Luostarinen bumped up to the second lline midway through the first period. With how impressive the 22-year-old has been to start the season, it would not be a shock to see him continue to center the second line going forward. With Jonathan Huberdeau and Patric Hornqvist on his wings, Luostarinen is bound to start picking up points as long as the rookie can keep the momentum going.

Luostarinen scored a goal and dished an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Luostarinen begins the year as the Panthers' third-line center, but more performances like Sunday's could have him battling for top-six duties. He had a helper on Keith Yandle's second-period tally before scoring what was the game-winner in the third, just 22 seconds after Connor Murphy had equalized for the Blackhawks. The goal was Luostarinen's first in the NHL. A second-round pick of the Hurricanes in 2017, the Finn appears set for an everyday role after he was part of the return in the Vincent Trocheck trade last February.
