Status report
Hornqvist, a forward, is expected to be out about a week, Panthers coach Joel Quenneville said. … Barkov, a center, will miss his third straight game and is doubtful for the second of back-to-back games Sunday. … Hintz will be a game-time decision. ... Radulov, a forward, will miss his fifth straight game but could return Sunday. … Kiviranta, a forward, is a week away from returning.
