Panthers' Denis Malgin: Cleared to play

Malgin (concussion) has been cleared to return to game action, but he won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Carolina, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Malgin has missed Florida's last four games while recovering from a concussion, so he'll likely need to log several full practices before returning to the Panthers' lineup. The 20-year-old pivot's impending return will strengthen Florida's depth up front, but he's only notched eight points in 42 games this season, so he isn't a viable fantasy option at this stage in his career.
