• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Two helpers in Game 1 win

  Rotowire May 21, 2025

  Nosek collected two assists Tuesday in the Panthers' 5-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. After helping to set up what proved to be the game-winner by A.J. Greer early in the second period, Nosek fed Eetu Luostarinen from behind the net late in the third for Florida's final tally of the night. It was Nosek's first multi-point performance since Jan. 21, and after sitting out the Panthers' first eight playoff games, the veteran checking-line forward has chipped in three assists in six postseason contests.

  Rotowire Apr 17, 2025

  Nosek (rest) will be available for Game 1 of Florida's first-round series in the playoffs, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. Nosek dealt with an illness late in the season, and he was out for rest purposes during Tuesday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay. However, head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday that Nosek should be able to suit up to begin the playoffs. Nosek made 59 regular-season appearances this year and recorded a goal, eight assists, 83 hits and 24 blocked shots while averaging 9:49 of ice time.

  Rotowire Apr 15, 2025

  Nosek (rest) won't play Tuesday versus the Lightning, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports. Nosek returned from an illness Monday versus the Rangers. The Panthers have nothing to play for Tuesday, so they'll allow him to rest up again ahead of the playoffs. The 32-year-old will compete for bottom-six minutes during the postseason, though he's not a lock for the lineup.

Nosek was unavailable for Saturday's game against Buffalo, but he should be back in action following a one-game absence. The 32-year-old has made five appearances this month, recording no points and racking up 18 hits while averaging 11:42 of ice time.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Out Saturday

  Rotowire Apr 12, 2025

  Nosek (illness) won't play Saturday against Buffalo, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports. Nosek will miss at least one game as he recovers from an illness. The veteran forward has been stuck in a 20-game point drought and has one goal and nine points in 58 appearances this season. He'll look to return Monday when the Panthers host the Rangers.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Still cold on offense

  Rotowire Apr 11, 2025

  Nosek's point drought is up to 20 games after he was held scoreless in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings. Spring hasn't brought any heat to Nosek's scoring. During the drought, he has just 16 shots on net and a minus-2 rating, though he has doled out 40 hits. The 32-year-old is in a bottom-six role when he plays, and he was scratched nine straight times between March 13 and April 1. Sam Bennett's (upper body) absence will likely keep Nosek in the lineup for the rest of the regular season, but he could get pinched out in the postseason. He has managed a mere nine points with 45 shots on net and 81 hits over 58 appearances.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Languishing in point drought

  Rotowire Mar 4, 2025

  Nosek's point drought reached 12 games in Monday's 2-1 win over the Lightning. Nosek hasn't added much else during his slump -- he has 20 hits, eight shots on net, four PIM and a minus-1 rating in that span. The 32-year-old is filling a bottom-six role currently. He's been limited to nine points, 37 shots on net, 61 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 50 appearances in his first year with the Panthers.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Lends helper in win

  Rotowire Jan 26, 2025

  Nosek notched an assist and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Sharks. Nosek set up an A.J. Greer tally in the second period to spark a four-goal frame for the Panthers. With four helpers over his last four games, Nosek is starting to get more involved on offense despite his fourth-line role. He's at nine points, 29 shots on net, 41 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 38 appearances this season. The 32-year-old is unlikely to sustain significant scoring numbers and doesn't need to be tracked in most fantasy formats.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Adds pair of assists

  Rotowire Jan 22, 2025

  Nosek recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks. Nosek will be sad to be done with the Ducks this season -- the 32-year-old had an 11-game point drought prior to playing against them Saturday. He's since logged three helpers over the two-game season series. It's possible this jump-starts Nosek's offense, but the veteran forward remains in a fourth-line role and is unlikely to be a consistent scorer most of the time. He's now at eight points, 28 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-7 rating through 36 appearances.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Ends slump with helper

  Rotowire Jan 19, 2025

  Nosek notched an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Ducks. The helper ended an 11-game point drought for Nosek. He set up Jesper Boqvist for the opening tally at 11:22 of the second period. The 32-year-old Nosek has been a bottom-six fixture for the Panthers this season, giving him limited opportunities to contribute on offense. He's at six points, 28 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 35 appearances while averaging a meager 9:16 of ice time.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Picks up helper Sunday

  Rotowire Dec 23, 2024

  Nosek produced a shorthanded assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning. Nosek ended a six-game slump with the helper on A.J. Greer's second-period goal. The 32-year-old Nosek has spent the majority of the campaign in a fourth-line role, and that's not helping him generate more offense. He has five points, 19 shots on net, 29 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 23 appearances.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Sends assist in win

  Rotowire Dec 8, 2024

  Nosek produced an assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks. Nosek ended a seven-game point drought when he set up the second of Matthew Tkachuk's tallies Saturday. The former has held down a consistent spot in the bottom six, though Nosek doesn't typically score enough to earn interest in fantasy. He's at four points, 14 shots on net, 20 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 16 outings this season while currently centering the fourth line.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Gets on scoresheet with helper

  Rotowire Nov 2, 2024

  Nosek notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Finland. This was Nosek's second game of the season after he missed all of October due to an upper-body injury. He's slotted into a bottom-six role to begin his first year with the Panthers, and given the team's center depth, he's unlikely to get a look higher in the lineup without a move to the wing. He's added one shot on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating over his two appearances.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Nearing return to action

  Rotowire Oct 31, 2024

  Nosek (upper body) looks poised to suit up against the Stars on Friday after head coach Paul Maurice told reporters, "Assuming he gets through the morning skate and feels good, we'll activate him at that time," per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site. Nosek will make his season debut after missing the Panthers'' opening 11 games of the campaign. The veteran center will slot into a fourth-line role alongside A.J. Greer and Mackie Samoskevich, a move that will relegate Patrick Giles to the press box. For his part, Nosek saw action in 36 games for New Jersey last year and generated two goals and four assists. Having never topped the 20-point mark in his career, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting a ton of offense out of Nosek this season.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: On track to return in Finland

  Rotowire Oct 19, 2024

  Nosek (upper body) is trending toward being ready to return to the lineup versus the Stars in November during the NHL Global Series, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. Nosek was injured early in training camp and placed on long-term injured reserve at the start of the regular season. Nosek signed a one-year contract with the Panthers in the summer after picking up two goals and four assists in 36 regular-season appearances with the Devils in 2023-24. He will see fourth-line minutes upon his return.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Labeled week-to-week

  Rotowire Oct 8, 2024

  Nosek (upper body) is considered week-to-week and is expected to miss at least the next seven games after GM Bill Zito said "but not next week," per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site on Tuesday. Nosek has already been designated for injured reserve, so his timeline shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Still, the 32-year-old forward was expected to slot into a bottom-six role for the Panthers after signing a one-year deal with the club in the offseason. With Nosek on the shelf, Jonah Gadjovich and A.J. Greer could see some extra opportunities.

Nosek will miss the start of the campaign after he went hard into the boards in a Sept. 23 preseason contest against Nashville. The 32-year-old signed a one-year deal with Florida in July.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Injured against Nashville

  Rotowire Sep 24, 2024

  Nosek is battling an upper-body injury and will miss some time as a result, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Tuesday. Nosek went hard into the boards in Sunday's preseason game after being tripped by a Nashville player. The injury will keep him sidelined for weeks, but coach Paul Maurice specified that it is not a concussion. Nosek was expected to compete for Florida's fourth-line center role, so it'll be an interesting situation to keep tabs on as the season approaches. The 32-year-old has generated 107 points in 434 regular-season contests throughout his nine-year NHL career.

• Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Agrees to one-year contract

  Rotowire Jul 1, 2024

  Nosek signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports. Nosek had two goals and six points in 36 outings with the Devils last season. He'll compete for a fourth-line spot with the Panthers. Nosek has never reached the 20-point mark in a season, so his fantasy value is minimal.
