The Florida Panthers placed forwards Jonathan Huberdeau, Eetu Luostarinen, and Owen Tippett, as well as defenseman MacKenzie Weegar into the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, the team announced Sunday.
The club previously placed Sam Bennett, Radko Gudas, Ryan Lomberg, Brandon Montour, Carter Verhaeghe, Aaron Ekblad, and Frank Vatrano on the COVID-19 list before the season paused on Dec. 22.
Huberdeau leads the Panthers with 33 points in 29 contests this season. Weegar ranks second on the team with 23:55 minutes of ice time per game.
The Panthers are slated to take on the New York Rangers on Wednesday night. Florida last played on Dec. 16 against the Los Angeles Kings.
