The Panthers announced today that they have recalled Chris Driedger from Charlotte.
Driedger, 30, is 10-6-4 this season for Charlotte with a 2.97 goals-against average and an .878 save percentage. A veteran of over 200 AHL games, Driedger - who was a third-round pick by Ottawa in 2012 - has also appeared in 67 NHL games over his career.
The transaction comes after the Panthers dealt goalie Spencer Knight to Chicago last night as part of the trade to acquire Seth Jones. Knight appeared in 58 games for Charlotte over parts of three seasons.
The Checkers are entering a busy stretch of schedule, kicking off a four-game week with a pair of tilts against Springfield on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Coliseum.
