Florida Panthers center Anton Lundell recorded an assist on Vladimir Tarasenko's game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory. It's his ninth postseason assist, which has Lundell ranked third on the team, behind only Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov. Lundell's productive work as a third-line center in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs includes three goals in 17 games. With the Panthers generating offense throughout the lineup, it's going to be very difficult to stop them from winning the championship.

Lundell has been a solid middle-six piece for the Panthers and finished last season with 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) across 73 outings. He could pick up a few extra minutes with Bennett on the shelf, although Eetu Luostarinen will be his direct replacement as the second-line center.

Florida might also be without Carter Verhaeghe on Tuesday, as he's listed as a game-time decision with an undisclosed injury.
