Ryan Lomberg Inserted Into Panthers Lineup Tuesday
Florida Panthers left wing Ryan Lomberg will be back in the lineup for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against Edmonton on Tuesday. The gritty winger makes his first appearance in the Final and will see his first action since logging 7:57 of ice time in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Rangers. Lomberg has made five appearances overall this postseason, averaging 7:41 on the ice. Working as a fourth-liner, he has recorded 20 hits but doesn't have any points to his name. Steven Lorentz comes out of the lineup for Lomberg.
Florida Panthers winger Ryan Lomberg (illness) will remain out for Game 3 against Tampa Bay on Thursday. He's battling an undisclosed illness and didn't travel with the team. Florida currently has him in quarantine. Kyle Okposo will be entering the lineup on Thursday. The veteran should add some offensive threat to the team after registering 22 points (12 goals, 10 assists) in 67 regular-season games split between Buffalo and Florida. The 36-year-old is getting his first taste of playoff action since having 10 postseason outings with the Islanders in 2015-16.
Florida Panthers winger Ryan Lomberg (illness) could be available again for Thursday's Game 3 against Tampa Bay. He missed Game 2 on Tuesday with an illness, but Panthers head coach Paul Maurice believes that Lomberg might be an option on Thursday. Steve Lorentz skated in Lomberg's place on the fourth line on Tuesday, logging 6:06 of action and registering two shots on goal with four hits. Lomberg produced similar numbers in Game 1 and shouldn't be expected to contribute offensively when he returns.
Florida Panthers winger Ryan Lomberg is feeling under the weather and won't play in Game 2 against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The 29-year-old grinder will be replaced in the lineup by Steve Lorentz. Lomberg posted only seven points (five goals, two assists) in 75 regular-season appearances, but the team will definitely miss his physical presence on Tuesday. In the regular season, Niko Mikkola (198) was the only Panthers skater with more hits than Lomberg (179). He registered four hits and one shot on goal in 6:32 of action in Game 1 at the weekend. Lorentz settled for three points (one goal, two assists) in 38 games during the regular season.
Florida Panthers left wing Ryan Lomberg (upper body) won't be ready to return to action for Tuesday's Game 1 against Toronto, with the team regarding him as week-to-week. The 28-year-old dropped out of the lineup after four games in the first-round series against Boston and there are unconfirmed reports of him having undergone hand surgery. Lomberg had suffered the injury already in Game 1 of the matchup. Lomberg is a bottom-six grinder, but he also chipped in with 12 goals during the regular season and had 20 points overall, so he's been valuable for the team in multiple ways.
Ryan Lomberg Will Miss The Rest Of Series Against Boston
Florida Panthers winger Ryan Lomberg (upper body) will miss the remainder of the first-round series versus the Boston Bruins. Against Boston, Lomberg has not registered a point in four games while logging 18 penalty minutes and five shots on goal. He was forced to sit out Game 5 with the injury. The 28-year-old forward is coming off a season in which he achieved career highs with 12 goals and eight assists over 82 regular season games.
