Stephen Weiss was a last-minute scratch for the Panthers in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Ottawa. Florida GM Dale Tallon believes his top center has a minor lower-body injury, but his absence left an already depleted roster without another important forward. Weiss joins Kris Versteeg (groin), Sean Bergenheim (groin) and Marcel Goc (ankle) on the sidelines. Consider him day-to-day for now.
