Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was originally expected to start but has been diagnosed with a lower-body injury so Eric Comrie will get his first start since December 5th, 2023. The 28-year-old will look to improve on his horrific overall season numbers as he is 1-5-0 with a 4.61 GAA and .863 SV%. He will host the red-hot Florida Panthers at home Thursday, who have won seven of their last eight games and lead the NHL in shots per game (34.1).
