Status report
Rodrigues was the only player who did not participate in the Panthers’ optional morning skate. … Gadjovich, a forward, is not on a four-game trip that also includes games against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, the San Jose Sharks on Saturday and the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. He was injured in a 3-0 win against Vegas on Oct. 25 and has missed the past two games. … Strome participated in the morning skate for the first time this season; the forward has missed the first 11 games, but will travel with the Ducks on a two-game road trip that begins Thursday at the Dallas Stars.
