Not practicing for Florida on Monday were Nick Cousins, Josh Mahura and Sam Bennett

The Florida Panthers were back on the ice Monday morning in Coral Springs for the team’s first post-preseason practice.

It was a spirited skate that included a good amount of special teams work.

We didn’t see the Panthers do much work on the power play during training camp, but with the season officially on the horizon, Head Coach Paul Maurice has been easing it into practice more and more.

On Monday, Florida rolled out a pair of four-forward units.

Power play one featured Matthew Tkachuk down low, Sam Reinhart as bumper, Evan Rodrigues on the left flank and Sasha Barkov on the right, with Oliver Ekman-Larsson running the point.

The second group had Eetu Luostarinen near the goal with rookie Mackie Samoskevich in the middle, flanked by Anton Lundell on the right and Carter Verhaeghe on the left. Gus Forsling was the lone defender on PP2.

Here is how the forward lines and defensive pairings looked on Monday:

Verhaeghe – Barkov – Rodrigues

Sourdif – Luostarinen – Tkachuk

Samoskevich – Lundell – Reinhart

Lomberg – Stenlund – Lorenz / Ritchie

Forsling – Ekman-Larsson

Mikkola – Kukikov

Reilly – Balinskis

Nick Cousins and Josh Mahura did not practice but Maurice indicated after practice that neither was dealing with anything serious.

“I don’t even know that I’m listing them day-to-day, they’re very probably practicing tomorrow,” Maurice said, adding that both would be playing in a game if there was one to be played.

Cousins would likely jump back up to that second line spot with Luostarinen and Tkachuk, leaving Sourdif as a potential healthy scratch.

Maurice has said that with Sourdif and Samoskevich, they wouldn’t be kept on the NHL roster to be scratched or play a handful of minutes, so both players would need to have a set role if and when their respective numbers are called.

When Sourdif does get worked into the lineup, a way that could shake out would be to move Cousins to the fourth line and health scratch either Lorenz or Stenlund, whichever one Maurice didn’t ask to play center.

There will surely be some changes to make when Sam Bennett returns from the lower-body injury he suffered during last Thursday’s second-to-last preseason game.

Bennett was seen wearing a walking boot on his left leg the following day, and Maurice said he would “list him as longer than day-to-day” and called him “doubtful” for Opening Night in Minnesota.
