Florida Panthers Have a New ‘Hybrid’ in Uvis Balinskis

A few years ago, the Florida Panthers had success by moving defenseman Mark Pysyk up to their fourth forward line.
Keith Yandle called his pal Pysyk a ‘Prius,’ because he was “a hybrid who can do it all.’’
The Panthers have gone back in time — only this time Yandle is not around to give Uvis Balinskis a cool nickname.
To stick with the Toyota hybrid theme, perhaps ‘Yaris Balinskis?’
Nah. We’ll stick with Uvis.
And he is doing the Panthers a solid.
