Vegas Golden Knights center Paul Stastny will miss at least three games with an undisclosed lower-body injury.

The Florida Panthers put goaltender Roberto Luongo on injured reserve Sunday, one day after a right knee injury knocked the veteran out of his team's season-opening loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The move will sideline Luongo for at least a week and means that James Reimer will likely start Florida's home opener Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Sharks center Joe Thornton is going on short-term injured reserve after experiencing discomfort in his surgically repaired right knee.

Thornton experienced swelling in the knee and flew back to San Jose to meet with doctors Saturday while the rest of the team headed to the East Coast for a four-game road trip. The earliest Thornton could return would be next Sunday.
