Jared McCann was looking to center #FlaPanthers third line but with left leg injury, who knows. May turn to rookie Henrik Borgstrom to do it — he had been wing on that line. Will have to find the severity of the McCann injury first.

McCann, in his third season with the team, is expected to centre the Panthers' third line. The 22-year-old had nine goals and 19 assists in 68 games in Florida last season.
