Welcome to the NHL Status Report. Here is the latest lineup/injury news around the NHL.

Pittsburgh, which is third in the Metropolitan Division, visits the Ottawa Senators on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; RDS2, TSN5, SN-PIT). Malkin (upper body) is day to day and did not play against Colorado.

Florida Panthers

Anton Lundell is likely out the rest  of the regular season with a rib injury. The forward will be sidelined 2-6 weeks."That MRI wasn't very good, so he's not on the near term," Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday. "... I wouldn't play him in the regular season or if we were fighting for (a Stanley Cup Playoff spot)." Lundell, who has missed the past two games, has 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 64 games. Florida hosts the Minnesota Wild on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; ESPN, SNP).

Utah Mammoth

Barrett Hayton left a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday after one shift in the first period with an upper-body injury following a collision with teammate Jack McBain. "He will have more exams tomorrow, and we'll figure out the nature of it," Mammoth coach Andre Tourigny said after the game. Hayton has 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 67 games this season. Utah hosts the Washington Capitals on Thursday (9 p.m. ET; Utah16, MNMT).
