Status report

After putting the Tkachuk brothers with Bennett in the third period of Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild, Panthers coach Paul Maurice had the three together again at practice Sunday. … Helenius and Kulich skated with Norris at practice and could return to the lineup after each was scratched Saturday (a 4-1 loss to the Utah Mammoth).
