Evan Nause is headed back to the Queen City, as the Panthers prospect has been assigned from the Florida Everblades to Charlotte.
The 21-year-old has five points (0g, 5a) in 28 games at the ECHL level this season. He has also appeared in eight games for the Checkers thus far - most recently on Dec. 8 - and earned one assist along the way.
A second-round pick by the Panthers in 2021, Nause is in his first pro season. Last season he captured a Memorial Cup with Quebec.
