- On Monday, the Florida Panthers lost 5-3 to the Buffalo Sabres as starting goalie Jacob Markstrom left after the first period with an apparent injury, replaced by Akira Schmid.
- Florida acquired the 36-year-old Markstrom from New Jersey to replace Sergei Bobrovsky, who departed for the Toronto Maple Leafs in free agency after two Stanley Cup runs with the Panthers.
