Adam Boqvist Out On Thursday
2 months agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Adam Boqvist (face) will not play against Ottawa on Thursday. The 24-year-old is forced to sit out the action after taking a puck to the face on Tuesday versus Boston. Boqvist's absence will give Nate Schmidt his Panthers debut. The 33-year-old veteran will roll on the third defensive pairing but could also see some power-play time. 46 of Schmidt's 220 career points (47 goals, 173 assists) have come with the man advantage. Aaron Ekblad will take over from Boqvist on the first power-play unit.
