Status report
The Panthers are expected to dress the same lineup they used in a 3-2 loss at the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. ... Tanev participated in the Maple Leafs optional morning skate and will be a game-time decision; the defenseman has missed six games. ... If Tanev plays, Myers would be scratched.
