Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said captain Ed Jovanovski is still slowed by a knee injury suffered in Florida's previous meeting against the Lightning and despite beginning skating on Friday, will likely miss the next two weeks.
The Panthers said last week that they had hoped Jovanovski would be able to play this coming week.
"There is no expectation for the next two weeks that he'll be available to us,'' Dineen said.
Forward Alex Kovalev may be pushing 40, but he has 430 career goals, including two in nine games with the Panthers, so he's not used to being a healthy scratch for two consecutive games as he was after sitting out again Saturday night.
"I expected it,'' said Kovalev, because his replacement Jack Skille scored a goal against the Flyers. "It's frustrating for me. I thought I played well, done a lot of good things, but I've got to stick with it as long as the team is winning.

Florida, which snapped its five-game losing streak Thursday night, will likely have center Stephen Weiss back on the top line Sunday at Buffalo after he missed three games with a groin injury.
Campbellnek van étteremtulajdonos spanja Buffaloban, a meccs után ott nézi meg a csapat a Super Bowl-t.
Defenseman Brian Campbell, who played for the Sabres, has a friend opening up his restaurant -- which is usually closed on Sunday -- so the team can watch the Super Bowl.
"It's always good to do stuff with the guys,'' Campbell said. "Hopefully we get two points and then enjoy ourselves. We need to string some wins together to get into .500 and then move from there.''
