Coburn (general soreness) will play Thursday against the Panthers, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Coburn was in some pain after he was hit into the boards during Tuesday's loss to Tampa Bay, but was able to recover sufficiently in advance of Thursday's morning skate. Coach Craig Berube will stick with the same six defensemen Thursday that he used two nights earlier.
