Schwindt has not dressed since before the All-Star break (January 27th) and has therefore been reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) so that he can get some game time. The 22-year-old rookie right-winger has appeared in three games this season for Calgary, playing a minor role and picking up one SOG, two PIMs, and a -1 plus/minus while averaging a minuscule 6:30 TOI.
Schwindt joins Matt Coronato, Dennis Gilbert, and Adam Klepka as healthy scratches on Tuesday. Schwindt made his season debut last month and played three games for the Flames, registering three hits and one shot on goal.
Barkov has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury and was on a tear before he left the lineup, scoring seven points (0G / 7A) in his last five games. He'll reclaim his usual spot centering the Panthers' first line.
Forsling sat out the previous game for the Panthers for personal reasons but will be ready to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Coyotes. Forsling has scored a goal in each of his last two games while registering six shots and four hits.
Head coach Paul Maurice expressed that Barkov will likely return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Coyotes, barring any unforeseen changes. Barkov has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury and was on a tear before he left the lineup, scoring seven points (0G / 7A) in his last five games.
Schwindt has three NHL games under his belt but has spent the majority of the last four seasons in the AHL. Schwindt was the 81st overall pick of the Florida Panthers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and has 20 points (8G / 12A) in 37 games with the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL this season. He win draw into the lineup in favour of Adam Ruzicka.

It's unclear whether this is injury related or simply a healthy scratch. Josh Mahura will draw into the lineup in Forsling's place. Forsling has seven goals and twelve assists in 45 games this season.
Barkov will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury when the Panthers travel to Nashville on Monday. Barkov will remain in Florida to get more ice time with the hopes that he'll be back for Wednesday's game vs. the Coyotes.
The positive news for the Panthers is that Barkov will not miss extended time, but he will not be available for Friday's contest against the Minnesota Wild, missing a second straight game due to a lower-body injury. Before his injury, Barkov was producing at a torrid pace, scoring 16 points, all assists, in his last 11 games. Anton Lundell is expected to skate on the top line alongside Sam Reinhart in his absence.
Josh Mahura will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Kulikov to return from a one-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. In his last contest, Kulikov played only 13:49 time-on-ice, registering two hits and a -2 plus/minus.

Josh Mahura will re-enter the lineup for the Panthers and Kulikov is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. On Saturday, Kulikov played only 13:49 time-on-ice, registering two hits and a -2 plus/minus.
Jones has not played since December 10th due to a shoulder injury but looks like he could return Saturday vs. Dallas after participating in full Friday at practice. The 29-year-old has struggled offensively this season with little help around him in Chicago, as he is yet to score a goal but has 11 assists, 60 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 27 games prior to the injury. He'll lineup up on first power play and the Blackhawks' top defensive pairing when he does return.
Bjornfot will get the chance to play on Wednesday after all as the Golden Knights will be forced to dress seven defensemen as Michael Amadio is unavailable due to illness. Bjonfot made his Vegas debut on Saturday and is yet to register a point in two games this season.
