Tarasov has lost his last three games (0-2-1), allowing four or more goals in each, posting an abysmal .840 SV%. The Blue Jackets have been outscored 8-2 in their last two games (0-2-0) and are +168 road underdogs against the Flames.
Barkov has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury and was on a tear before he left the lineup, scoring seven points (0G / 7A) in his last five games. He'll reclaim his usual spot centering the Panthers' first line.

The Panthers snapped a four-game losing streak on Monday with Anthony Stolarz between the pipes but will return to Bobrovsky on Wednesday evening.

The Panthers are sizeable -206 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes club riding a two-game winning streak.

It's unclear whether this is injury related or simply a healthy scratch. Josh Mahura will draw into the lineup in Forsling's place. Forsling has seven goals and twelve assists in 45 games this season.
Barkov will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury when the Panthers travel to Nashville on Monday. Barkov will remain in Florida to get more ice time with the hopes that he'll be back for Wednesday's game vs. the Coyotes.
The positive news for the Panthers is that Barkov will not miss extended time, but he will not be available for Friday's contest against the Minnesota Wild, missing a second straight game due to a lower-body injury. Before his injury, Barkov was producing at a torrid pace, scoring 16 points, all assists, in his last 11 games. Anton Lundell is expected to skate on the top line alongside Sam Reinhart in his absence.
The Panthers have lost three straight after seeing their nine-game winning streak end last week and will turn to Bobrovsky between the pipes on Thursday to get back into the win column. Bobrovsky has allowed three or more goals in three of his last four games (2-2-0), posting a subpar .890 SV% in the process. The Panthers will be facing a Minnesota Wild club that has been shut out in two of their last five games (1-3-1) but is coming off an impressive 5-0 victory over the New York Islanders.
Josh Mahura will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Kulikov to return from a one-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. In his last contest, Kulikov played only 13:49 time-on-ice, registering two hits and a -2 plus/minus.
After seeing a season-best nine-game winning streak end last week, the Panthers have lost two straight and will hope to return to the win column on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. Despite being outscored 9-5 in their last two games (0-1-1), the Panthers are sizeable -205 home favourites against a Red Wings club that has won two straight but will be without offensive threat Patrick Kane. Bobrovsky, who has allowed three or fewer goals in seven of his last eight games (7-1-0) while posting a respectable .917 SV%, will likely tend the twine for the Panthers.
