The Florida Panthers are adjusting their lineup as they prepare to face off in Nashville, with notable changes due to the absence of star player Aleksander Barkov, who will not play. Barkov is set to miss his third consecutive game, impacting the team's performance. In response to the forward injuries, the Panthers are calling up prospect Mackie Samoskevich, who is scratched today, to fill the open spot. Samoskevich has been added to the active roster according to the NHL media site and will play right wing on the third line alongside Stenlund and Lomberg.
