  • Playing regular-season finale
    Verhaeghe (upper body) will be in the lineup for the Cats' regular-season finale versus Toronto on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Advice: Initial reports suggested that Verhaeghe wouldn't be cleared until the postseason but it appears he is slightly ahead of schedule. Prior to his six-game absence, the 28-year-old Toronto native was rolling offensively with three goals on 16 shots and two assists in his last six outings.
