Domi returned to the ice on Monday.

Domi sat out the first week of Phase 3 while deciding whether or not he will play in the Qualifying Round. Domi is at an increased risk as a Type-1 diabetic, so he took extra time to make his decision on the NHL's Return to Play program. During his first practice with the team, Domi took part in some drills and was featured on the second power-play unit.

Bobrovsky suffered a lower-body injury in warmups on Sunday.

Bobrovsky was scheduled to start vs. the Flames but "tweaked" something during warmups which led to Samuel Montembeault getting the nod for the Panthers. If the Panthers want a chance at making the playoffs, they need a healthy Bobrovsky. Luckily they're off until Thursday, so he should be good-to-go.

Bobrovsky will start Saturday vs. the Blackhawks.

Bobrovsky surrendered four goals on 28 shots in the Panthers loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday. The veteran has been very inconsistent in the month of February, going 4-7-1 with a 3.33 GAA and .903 SV% in 12 starts. Today he’ll try and keep the Panthers in the playoff hunt with a win over the Blackhawks—he stopped 32 of 35 shots in a 4-3 win in his first start vs. Chicago.

Tonight he'll start a crucial game vs. the Maple Leafs, who he stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 5-3 win against in early-February.

Muzzin will miss four weeks with a broken hand.

Muzzin was forced to leave Tuesday's game after blocking a shot and it was announced on Wednesday morning that he broke his hand. Muzzin, who the battered Maple Leafs could ill afford to lose, will miss at least one month. Four weeks will cause Muzzin to miss roughly 14 games of Toronto's remaining 18 games. Calle Rosen, who was acquired at the trade deadline, has been recalled from the AHL to replace Muzzin.
