Early word last night following the game is that Theodore is having some "core" issues. That could indicate anything from a serious abdominal strain to diarrhea. Dineen said he started having issues in the second period, but Theodore was able to play through into the beginning of the third. So, that could either mean that it's not anything serious, or it could mean that it is a persistent issue that Theodore will have to fight through the rest of the season (and will go through flair ups here and there).
I know this wasn't very helpful, but there really isn't much info out there on this yet. I'm following closely, though, because Markstrom really stole that game for the Panthers last night. He was absolutely phenomenal in the third period, and literally robbed Tavares at the goal line on at least four prime chances in the game's final minutes. He came as advertised, and this very well could be the tiny crack in the door the rookie needs to force his way into the Panthers' crease.
Edit: I should add that the first thing I did after last night's game was to add Markstrom to my lineup. My advice would be to find a way to do the same now before it's too late.
