Florida Panthers Add Forward from Charlotte Checkers

The Florida Panthers made a roster move on Monday, bringing up forward Jack Studnicka from their AHL affiliate in Charlotte.

Studnicka could be in the Florida lineup Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Panthers have been dealing with injuries throughout the season although the only player missing from Monday’s practice was Sam Reinhart.

Studnicka, 26, was a second-round pick of the Boston Bruins in 2017 and was teammates with Brad Marchand for 38 games over the course of four seasons.

He has also played with the Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks.

Studnicka spent all of last season with the Los Angeles Kings’ AHL team, scoring 16 goals in 72 games for the Ontario Reign.

In eight games with Charlotte this season, Studnicka has a goal with six points in eight games.

Florida signed Studnicka to a one year, two ways deal during the offseason.

The Panthers also facilitated the signing of veteran Robby Fabbri to a tryout deal with the Checkers.

A first-round pick in 2014, Fabbri has played in 442 NHL games with St. Louis, Detroit, and Anaheim.

Fabbri, 29, has eight goals and 16 points in 44 games for Anaheim last season.

A forward, Fabbri was with the Penguins during training camp on a PTO but did not sign there.

Last season, the Panthers signed Jesse Puljujarvi to a PTO in Charlotte after he was cut loose by the Penguins. He ended up signing with Florida and playing in a handful of games.
