Tim Thomas, who had started 14 of the past 15 games in net for the Florida Panthers, missed Friday's win and will miss at least the next few games after being placed on injured reserve Saturday. Thomas apparently re-injured his groin in practice Thursday at BB&T Center and won't be eligible to play until Friday at Winnipeg. Florida will go with Scott Clemmensen and Jacob Markstrom for at least its first three games of this four-game Canadian road trip. Thomas is travelling with the team.
