Bennett snapped a season-worst three-game pointless skid with an assist on Monday but was sidelined on Wednesday due to an illness and will be a game-time decision on Friday. The 28-year-old Bennett is pacing for a career-best offensive season, with 27 points (13G / 14A) in 31 games while maintaining his rugged style, recording 39 penalty minutes and 71 hits.

Barkov was a late scratch on Saturday due to an illness, and missed a second straight game on Monday. The Panthers will be without Sam Bennett (illness) on Wednesday so Barkov's return could not come at a better time. He has 29 points (9G / 20A) in 22 games this season.

The Panthers will roll with Bobrovsky between the pipes for the fifth time in the last six games. Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 30 shots (.833 SV%) in Florida's previous outing, a 6-5 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The 36-year-old netminder has a 2.97 GAA and .889 SV% in 21 games this season (14-6-1).

The 36-year-old Bobrovsky has a 2.93 GAA and .894 SV% in 18 games this season (12-5-1).

Bobrovsky will be away from the team for a second consecutive game but could return to the crease on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. Spencer Knight has served as the Panthers' netminder in Bobrovsky's absence, with Chris Driedger as the backup.

Despite struggling on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 16 shots (.688 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Knight will return to the crease on Thursday for his third consecutive start.
