Status report
The Panthers held an optional morning skate. ... Barkov, a center, will be a game-time decision after missing a 3-0 loss at the Calgary Flames on Saturday ... Rodrigues moves up to the top line in place of Luostarinen ... Bouchard didn’t skate Monday morning due to what coach Kris Knoblauch called a “maintenance” decision, but will play ... Arvidsson, a forward, spent some time in Bouchard’s position on defense at the morning skate but will not play.
