Hunwick (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is mostly an FYI to fans of the Buds, as Hunwick hasn't done much to garner attention in the fantasy realm. In fact, he was a big liability in Tuesday's game against the Lightning, having been held off the scoresheet and skating to a putrid minus-3 rating. Roman Polak figures to take Hunwick's place on the third defensive pair Thursday.
