Acciari is expected to miss the next two games but shoulder return in Nashville next week. With Acciari and Carter Verhaeghe both on the path to return in the next two weeks, the Panthers are going to have to make some very difficult lineup decisions.
Acciari remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury; will not play Monday.

Dumba (lower-body) will return to the Wild lineup on Thursday.
As hinted to on Wednesday, Dumba will return from a three-game absence on Thursday. The Wild managed to go 2-1-0 without Dumba but he'll provide a massive lift to their blueline vs. St. Louis. Dumba has been relatively quiet as of late but has accumulated 11 points (5G / 6A) in 26 games so far this season.
Dumba (lower-body) will not play Wednesday but could return to the lineup on Thursday.
Dumba will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury but the Wild said he may play Thursday. Brad Hunt will remain in the lineup and is expected to be on the top power-play unit.
Aho (the other one) will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Dumba (lower-body) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play Saturday.
Dumba (lower-body) is doubtful to play Saturday.
Dumba left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury when he fell awkwardly into the boards. With Dumba expected to miss Saturday's game, he will likely be replaced by Carson Soucy, who missed yesterday's game due to a one-game suspension.
Malkin (lower-body) will not play on Thursday.
The Penguins said that Malkin is still being evaluated and will not play on Thursday. Head coach Mike Sullivan said that he hopes to have more information on Malkin in the next day or so, so it sounds like he could miss some time.
The Blue Jackets have placed Emil Bemstrom (lower-body) on IR.
Bemstrom was hurt in Wednesday's practice and was placed on IR on Thursday, meaning he'll miss at least seven days. Mikhail Grigorenko will replace him in the Blue Jackets' bottom-6.
