Brandon Pirri will feature in the Florida Panthers lineup for the first time in two-and-a-half weeks Thursday versus the Detroit Red Wings.
To include Pirri, coach Gerard Gallant will shuffle a lineup that's won four straight, scoring 4.75 goals per game over that stretch.
Pirri was scoreless with a minus-5 rating in the six games leading up to his string of scratches.
He'll skate with Nick Bjugstad and Logan Shaw.
