As they finalize their roster for Tuesday's NHL season opener, the Panthers have assigned forward Jack Studnicka to Charlotte.
Studnicka, 26, signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida over the summer and appeared in four preseason games for the Panthers before clearing waivers and joining the Checkers.
A second-round pick by Boston in 2017, Studnicka registered 45 points (16g, 29a) in 72 games for Ontario last season and has 162 points (57g, 105a) in 225 AHL games over his career for Providence, Abbotsford, San Jose and Ontario.

The 27-year-old is heading into his second full season as a pro after posting four points (2g, 2a) and 36 penalty minutes in 51 games for Grand Rapids last season. Johannes - who appeared in six AHL games with the Griffins at the end of the 2023-24 campaign - also recorded five points (2g, 3a) in four ECHL games for Toledo last season.
