Florida Panthers forward Colin White (undisclosed) will return to the lineup on Saturday, taking over from Patric Hornqvist, who is forced to sit out with an upper-body injury. White has been dealing with an unspecified injury of his own, but he is able to return to action after missing just one game. The former Senators collected four points in five games before taking a seat for Thursday's 4-3 win over San Jose, and he's been productive throughout the campaign with eight points in 10 games. Fantasy managers should enjoy it while it lasts, as White is unlikely to maintain his scoring pace if he continues to average barely 11 minutes a night.
Patric Hornqvist Reaches 10 Points For The Campaign
Florida Panthers right wing Patric Hornqvist was the team's lone scorer in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Seattle, getting his third goal of the season 6:59 into the first period. He tallied three shots overall and delivered four hits in 13:45 of action while finishing with a minus-two rating. Hornqvist now has 10 points for the year in 21 appearances with 38 shots and 30 hits. The veteran winger is currently on the fourth line, but he always finds ways to get on the score sheet, and Hornqvist's ability to contribute at both ends of the ice makes him a valuable fantasy piece.
Florida Panthers right wing Patric Hornqvist, who missed Monday's 4-1 loss to Nashville for an unspecified reason, is also ruled out for Tuesday's rematch. The team has now announced that the veteran is dealing with an upper-body injury and is day-to-day. Hornqvist has been a big piece offensively for the Panthers, notching 14 goals and 32 points in 44 games. He also missed last Tuesday's 5-1 win over Columbus, so it seems like he's pretty banged up as we head into the final stretch of the regular season. With Hornqvist out of the lineup, Aleksi Heponiemi and Grigori Denisenko get a chance to fill top-six roles on Tuesday.
Florida Panthers forward Patric Hornqvist will be re-inserted back into the lineup as his team welcomes the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. The 34-year-old was held out of Florida's game on Tuesday due to a maintenance day. It's been a stellar debut season for Hornqvist in Florida this season, having produced 31 points (14 goals, 17 assists), 12 power-play points, 138 shots and 73 hits in 42 contests. Considering the 13-year veteran is expected to jump onto the Panthers' top line alongside center Aleksander Barkov on Thursday, fantasy owners would be wise to ensure he's cemented in starting lineups.
Patric Hornqvist Notches Power-Play Assist In Losing Effort
Florida Panthers right wing Patric Hornqvist picked up a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Dallas, registering the only helper for Aleksander Barkov's 17th marker of the season. The veteran winger has now provided the helping hand three times in five games since returning from an undisclosed injury a week ago. He has 16 assists in total and 28 points for the campaign in 38 outings with 125 shots and 67 hits. Hornqvist turned 34 in January, but he's still a productive player and sits among the league leaders with seven power-play goals. He can showcase his value with the man advantage against Dallas again on Tuesday -- the Stars have killed off only 78.3 percent of their penalties this season.
Patric Hornqvist Expected To Be Out For Seven Days
Florida Panthers forward Patric Hornqvist is expected to be sidelined for the next seven days - including his team's matchup with the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.

The Panthers are hoping for a quick recovery from it's agitating winger who is having a great first season with the club in 2020-2021 - registering 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists), 10 power-play points, 111 shots and 58 hits through 33 games.
Florida Panthers forward Patric Hornqvist produced a goal and added a power-play helper as his team came up short 4-3 in a shootout to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. The 34-year-old, playing in his debut season down in Florida, also logged a shootout goal, a plus-one rating, two shots and three hits in 18:29 of ice time in the contest. Hornqvist continues to showcase how well he fits into a deep Panthers forward group and now has 18 points (nine goals, nine assists), a plus-two rating, 69 shots and 32 hits through 20 games in 2020-2021. The 13-year veteran (76% owned in Yahoo! leagues) has emerged as a legitimate lock in fantasy lineups and will look to keep producing when the Panthers take on the Canes once again on Monday.
Florida Panthers right wing Patric Hornqvist notched the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Detroit, striking on a power play 8:04 into the second frame. Aaron Ekblad and Jonathan Huberdeau provided the helpers on the play. Hornqvist also had one assist in the game when he combined with Huberdeau to set up Alex Wennberg in the opening period. The veteran winger is loving life in Florida at the minute, averaging a point per game through 10 contests and sitting among the league's top goal-scorers with the man advantage having picked up four power-play goals.
Patric Hornqvist Comes Up Big For Florida Tuesday Night
Florida Panthers right wing Patric Hornqvist was the hero of the night on Tuesday against Columbus, scoring a dramatic game-tying goal with only a few seconds left in regulation and then providing the decisive goal in a shootout to seal a 4-3 victory. Carter Verhaeghe and Aleksander Barkov also found the net for the Panthers, who have three wins in three games to start off the year. Hornqvist has been at the heart of the success with goals in every game so far. Having already collected five points, he's averaging close to two points per game. Hornqvist's scoring level is clearly unsustainable but fantasy managers should enjoy it while it lasts.
Florida Panthers forward Patric Hornqvist tallied a pair of goals in his team's 5-4 overtime defeat of the visiting Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday. Hornqvist, acquired via trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins over the offseason, scored both of his goals on the man advantage and also added two shots in 14:46 of ice time in the victory. Having registered two points in each of his first two contests with his new team, the 34-year-old is fitting in quite nice on the Panthers' second line and top power-play unit. The eight-time 20-goal scorer remains just 59% owned in Yahoo! fantasy leagues despite the fact that he should be owned in nearly all formats that reward physical play. He'll look to stay hot when the Panthers face off against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.
