The Panthers will be without defenseman Jason Garrison (lower Body) for 7-10 days. This is not what the Panthers need as they occupy the top spot in the Southeast Division. Garrison has been a major reason for the team's success as he leads all NHL defensemen with 13 goals. His eight power-play goals lead the team. The 27-year-old was injured during Saturday's victory at New Jersey.
