Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Picks up helper

Luostarinen notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Luostarinen has just one goal and two assists in his last eight contests while recording 13 shots on net. The winger is currently filling a first-line role due to Aleksander Barkov (undisclosed) being out, but Luostarinen is far from a lock to maintain that assignment heading into the final weeks of the regular season. In addition to his even-strength role, Luostarinen has been spending time with the No. 2 power-play unit, though that hasn't helped to bolster his offense.
