Kirkland was a third-round pick in 2014 but has yet to make his NHL debut since turning pro in 2017. The 25-year-old, who had 48 points (25G / 23A) in 66 games with Stockton (AHL) last year, will likely report to San Diego (AHL) to start 2022-23.

Kadri was hit by Evander Kane on his first shift of Game 3 and did not return to the game. Head coach Jared Bednar said that Kadri will miss the rest of the series, "if not longer." Kane was suspended for one game for the hit.

Lomberg played just 7:39 TOI in Game 1, registering five hits. He will be replaced by Noel Acciari on the Panthers' fourth line.

Hanley has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace John Klingberg (lower-body) in the lineup on Friday. Hanley has just five points (1G / 4A) in 43 games this season.

Lomberg was suspended for his instigator penalty in the final five minutes of Sunday's loss to the Lightning. Maxim Mamin will likely draw back into the lineup to replace Lomgberg on Tuesday unless Carter Verhaeghe (undisclosed) its ready to go.

Ritchie missed Wednesday's game vs. the Blackhawks and will miss his second straight game on Friday. With Ritchie and Jay Beagle (lower-body) both out, Bokondji Imama was recalled from Tucson (AHL) and is expected to make his NHL debut.
