The Panthers announced today that they have assigned Tobias Bjornfot to Charlotte.
The 24-year-old blue liner played in the Checkers’ season opener before being recalled to Florida, where he was serving as an extra defenseman but did not play. Last season Bjornfot posted 18 points (3g, 15a) in 50 games for Charlotte while also appearing in 14 games for the Panthers.
The Checkers are preparing for a three-game road swing through the Atlantic Division that kicks off Wednesday in Hartford.
