Status report:
The Panthers did not hold a morning skate after a 3-2 overtime loss at the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday… Sturm’s status is unclear because he left that game after one shift at 3:17 of the first period following a collision with linemate A.J. Greer. Coach Paul Maurice said after the game, “We’ll get him looked at again (Wednesday). He didn’t feel he could come back, so we’ll get him assessed (Wednesday).”
