Status report

Gadjovich, a forward, will not play after leaving early in the first period of a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, which means the Panthers only have 17 healthy skaters (11 forwards, six defensemen).
Florida is already playing Balinskis, a defenseman, on its fourth forward line.
