Spin: Vilmanis was sidelined for each of the Panthers' last two outings with an undisclosed injury that he suffered in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals. Prior to going down, the 22-year-old winger compiled three goals, seven points, 22 shots on net, 47 hits and eight blocked shots over 16 games played. The young winger has been a strong addition to Florida's middle six since Mackie Samoskevich's departure to Seattle. Vilmanis will rejoin the Panthers third line Thursday and skate alongside Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen.
