Panthers' Nick Bjugstad (upper body) out Tuesday

Florida Panthers center Nick Bjugstad won't play Tuesday because of an upper-body injury.

What It Means:

He was hurt at practice Monday and has returned home to be evaluated further. His spot on the second line is expected to be occupied by Vincent Trocheck.

Bjugstad has seven goals and 12 points in 23 games this season. He put up a career-best 43 points a year ago. We had him projected for 37 more points this season, but that number will have to be adjusted if Bjugstad misses significant time.
