Fleischmann will serve as a healthy scratch for Monday's game against the Wild, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports. This should come as no surprise considering how Fleischmann has only put up two points in 17 games this season. He has been moved up and down the lineup to try and spark some offence but nothing has seemed to work this season. Last season was his worst output since becoming a Panther in 2011, only scoring 28 points (8G,20A) in 80 games. Fleischmann is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but his $4.5 million cap hit won't make things easy for Florida in terms of the team's salary cap if they keep scratching him. Look for him to get back into the lineup sooner rather than later.
