Status report

Nosek, who has been making his way back from a lower-body injury he sustained during a preseason game against the Nashville Predators on Sept. 22, could make his season debut; Nosek practiced with the Panthers on Thursday and coach Paul Maurice said he will play if he makes it through the morning skate Friday with no issues. … Gadjovich, a forward, also practiced Thursday, but is expected to remain out. … Back could return after being a healthy scratch for the Stars in a 4-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. … Florida (Driedger) and Dallas (Hellberg) is each carrying a third goalie for the two Global Series games.
