US EditionPanthers' Eetu Luostarinen Will Miss Time because of a Barbecue Mishap, Adding to Team's Injury Woes
Eetu Luostarinen sidelined week-to-week after a grilling accident, Cole Schwindt requires surgery for broken arm, adding to seven Panthers players already injured.
- On Nov 19, 2025 in Fort Lauderdale, Panthers coach Paul Maurice said centre Eetu Luostarinen is out week-to-week after barbecue burns and forward Cole Schwindt will miss 2/3 months following surgery for a broken arm.
- With multiple long-term absences, the Florida Panthers face roster strain as Aleksander Barkov, captain, Dmitry Kulikov, defenseman, Jonah Gadjovich, forward, Tomas Nosek, forward, and Matthew Tkachuk, forward remain sidelined.
- Luostarinen missed the Nov. 17 game and has 10 points this season, while his line with Brad Marchand and Anton Lundell became the team's most productive.
- The Panthers expect rookie forward Jack Devine to debut on Thursday against New Jersey, while coach Paul Maurice said, `We don't have a lot of experience with this` managing injuries week-to-week.
- As the NHL records another fluke off-ice mishap, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions face a weakened lineup with multi-month recoveries like Dmitry Kulikov's five-month absence.
