The Panthers did not have a morning skate after a 4-3 loss at the New York Rangers on Monday. ... Marchment will not play after the forward left the game Monday at 7:59 of the third period. ... Bobrovsky is questionable after the goalie didn't dress for the second straight game. … Wood is out indefinitely after the forward had right hip surgery Monday. ... Boqvist and Thompson were recalled from Utica of the American Hockey League on Tuesday and each is expected to play. ... Hamilton has a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision.
