from NHL.com,
Jacob Markstrom will be out 1-2 weeks for the Panthers after sustaining an upper-body injury in practice. The goalie, who was acquired in a trade with the New Jersey Devils on June 30, is 3-1-1 with a 2.21 goals-against average and .897 save percentage in six games this season. Akira Schmid is expected to start against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; Prime, SCRIPPS), with Cooper Black serving as the backup. Black, who was recalled from Charlotte of the American Hockey League on Tuesday, will see playing time in Markstrom's absence, Panthers coach Paul Maurice said.
