Gadjovich (upper body) is not expected to return until after the Olympic break, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich has been sidelined for 31 games and counting since he got hurt Oct. 25 versus Vegas. He subsequently underwent surgery and landed on injured reserve. Considering the 27-year-old winger has never reached the 10-point threshold in his five-year NHL career, few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his continued absence.

Gadjovich (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich has missed the last nine games and isn't expected to play until at least early February after undergoing surgery. His move to injured reserve opens a roster spot for a potential AHL call-up due to recent injuries to Eetu Luostarinen (lower body) and Cole Schwindt (undisclosed).

Gadjovich (upper body) will undergo surgery and is expected to miss about three months, Panthers TV Rinkside Reporter Katie Engleson reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich has already missed Florida's past four games due to the injury. He has three assists, seven PIM, eight shots and 30 hits in 10 appearances this season. Gadjovich primarily serves on the fourth line when healthy, and his absence might lead to Cole Schwindt playing regularly over the coming months.

Gadjovich (upper body) won't accompany the Panthers on the team's upcoming four-game trip, which begins against Anaheim on Tuesday, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich has already missed the last two games, and he is poised to miss at least four more. He may be out for an extended period, depending on the results of his upcoming evaluations. Gadjovich has supplied three assists, eight shots on goal, 30 hits and seven PIM across 10 appearances this season.

Head coach Paul Maurice said Monday that he expects Gadjovich (upper body) to miss at least a week, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich sustained an injury late in Saturday's win over the Golden Knights, and he's facing a multi-game absence due to the issue. He'll be sidelined for at least Tuesday's game against Anaheim and Saturday's matchup against Dallas, while Noah Gregor has obtained his visa and is slated to fill in while Gadjovich is unavailable.

Gadjovich has signed a two-year contract extension with the Panthers, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich has been a big part of Florida's bottom six since joining the team in the 2023-24 season. It's a nice 27th birthday gift for the physical winger, who is now tied to the Panthers organization through the 2027-28 season. He's off to a good start this season, notching an assist, 11 hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in three games.

Gadjovich recorded an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

In ideal circumstances, Gadjovich might not have a place in the lineup, but he looks set to compete for fourth-line minutes early in 2025-26 while the Panthers await the return of Matthew Tkachuk (groin). It didn't take long for Gadjovich to get on the scoresheet this season, as he set up A.J. Greer on Florida's first goal of the game at 11:06 of the opening frame. Entering this season, Gadjovich had collected just 18 points over 160 career appearances, and he's never logged more than seven points or 43 games in a campaign. While he adds some grit in the form of hits and PIM, he's not a particularly strong option in most fantasy formats.

Gadjovich (lower body) participated in Saturday's practice, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich missed some time during training camp while nursing a minor injury, but he appears to be fine now. He had four goals, 43 shots on net, 127 hits and 60 PIM across 42 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Gadjovich will miss a couple of days of practice with a minor lower-body injury,Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gadjovich had trouble staying healthy last season, appearing in only 42 regular-season contests. He had four goals and 127 hits in a fourth-line role for the Stanley Cup champions and is expected to take on a similar role this season.

Gadjovich scored a goal and added three hits in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers' fourth line hasn't done a lot this postseason in general, but Gadjovich has been surprisingly productive when in the lineup. He's earned two goals, one assist, six shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-3 rating over five playoff appearances. He was scratched for all of the first round and the first two games of this series versus Toronto before making his postseason debut in Game 3. The 26-year-old's usage is heavily limited, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting much out of him for the rest of the playoffs.
