Jovo is back for #FlaPanthers
Jovanovski hasn't played since January 29th because of a knee injury, but he will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders. Jovo is not the same player he was before, he likely will not be fantasy relevant.

Jovo out for at least next 2 games (knee)
Jovanovski has only 1 assist and a -1 in his 5 games this season. He isn't a great fantasy option at this point in his career.
