Tomas Fleischmann was a healthy scratch against Toronto on Thursday night. It was the first time during his three years with the Panthers that he's been relegated to the press box, which shouldn't be surprising because he's led the team in scoring for the previous two seasons. Fleischmann is also the highest-paid forward on the team, but he's struggled to contribute offense this season with only five goals and 23 points in 52 games. Still, he was surprised to be scratched and he's eager to get back into the lineup.
