COLUMBUS – The Florida Panthers will be missing two of their regulars when they face-off against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday.
During his pregame media availability, head coach Paul Maurice announced that both goaltender Jacob Markstrom and defenseman Radko Gudas are day-to-day.
Markstrom “tightened up” at some point during his start on Monday against the Buffalo Sabres and did not return after making nine saves in the first period.
Also banged up against the Sabres, Gudas left the game in the second period after a lower-body collision, but did return and played five shifts in the third period.
After playing two periods in Buffalo, Akira Schmid will start against the Blue Jackets, with rookie Cooper Black, who was called up from the AHL earlier today, backing him up.
On the blue line, Uvis Balinskis will draw in for Gudas.
The Panthers and Blue Jackets will drop the puck at 6:15 p.m. ET.
