Florida Panthers goaltender Jacob Markstrom is expected to miss 10 to 14 days with an injury suffered in practice on Monday, head coach Paul Maurice announced Tuesday.
Markstrom is 3-1-1 with an .897 save percentage and 2.21 GAA in six games this season. The 36-year-old also missed two games last week with an undisclosed injury.
The Panthers recalled goaltender Cooper Black from the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers on Tuesday as he will back up Akira Schmid while Markstrom is sidelined.
Black, 25, is 2-1-0 with a .919 save percentage and 2.67 goals-against average in three appearances with Charlotte this season. He was previously called up by the Panthers from Oct. 13 to 16 but did not appear in any games.
Schmid is 2-1-1 with an .878 save percentage and a 3.25 goals-against average in four games this season.
The Panthers kick off a four-game road trip on Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators.
