Coach Paul Maurice announced that Jonah Gadjovich will be out at least a week with an upper-body injury, which creates space for Noah Gregor to make his Florida Panthers debut.
Florida Panthers winger Jonah Gadjovich suffered an upper-body injury against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday and will be out for at least a week.
Replacing him in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks will be Noah Gregor, who is set to make his Panthers debut after signing a contract following pre-season.
Gadjovich was the recipient of an elbow against the Golden Knights at the end of the game. Currently, coach Paul Maurice is telling the media that the 27-year-old will be out for at least a week. In 10 games this season, Gadjovich has notched three assists while averaging 7:57 of ice time.
Gregor reportedly now has his visa and can participate in NHL games with the Panthers. He stood out in his pre-season performances due to his speed and defensive awareness, two factors the Panthers will require from him.
Last season, the 27-year-old scored four goals and seven points in 52 games, splitting time with the San Jose Sharks and the Ottawa Senators.
The Panthers had a much-needed bounce-back performance against the Golden Knights, shutting them out 3-0. The Panthers' scoring was started by Sam Reinhart before receiving insurance markers from depth forwards Cole Schwindt and A.J. Greer.
They'll attempt to string multiple wins in a row with the Ducks rolling into town.
