Affiliate Report - January 2024

Charlotte Checkers News Release
Throughout this season we're going to check in on how the Florida Panthers are doing, how former Checkers are helping them and how various alumni are faring around the world with the Affiliate Report - presented by Eastway Regional Recreation Center!
PANTHERS
31-14-4, 2nd in Atlantic Division
The Panthers had a January to remember, rattling off a 9-2-2 record over the month to cement themselves into the number two spot in not only the Atlantic Division, but the Eastern Conference as a whole. That includes a run of eight consecutive wins on the road dating back to December. Offensively Sam Reinhart has been stealing the show, with his 37 goals trailing only Auston Matthews for the league lead. On the other side of the ice Sergei Bobrovsky continues to string together gems between the pipes, and those two will now get to celebrate their strong first halves at the NHL All-Star Game in Toronto this coming weekend.
CHECKERS MAKING AN IMPACT
Will Lockwood has been holding onto a spot in the Florida lineup since his recall in mid-December, though he is currently sidelined with injury.
Mackie Samoskevich earned a call up in late January and appeared in each of the Panthers' last four games before the All-Star break - helping Florida earn wins in all four.
