The Florida Panthers have recalled forward Jack Studnicka from the Charlotte Checkers.
Studnicka, 26, has registered one goal and five assists in eight games this season with Charlotte. The Windsor, ON, native missed a month of action due to a lower-body injury suffered in late October, but returned last Friday against Toronto.
Studnicka has appeared in 107 NHL games over his career, logging time with Boston, Vancouver and San Jose.
The Charlotte Checkers have signed forward Robby Fabbri to a PTO (professional tryout).
Fabbri, 29, appeared in 44 games last season with the Anaheim Ducks, recording eight goals and eight assists. The Mississauga, ON, native has suited up in 442 NHL games with the Ducks, the St. Louis Blues and the Detroit Red Wings over his nine-year career, notching 216 points (106 goals, 110 assists). He signed a PTO with the Pittsburgh Penguins this past September, but was released before the regular season began.
Originally drafted by St. Louis in the first round (21st overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Fabbri won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Blues in 2018-19. He has played six AHL games previously, three with the Chicago Wolves (2014-15) and three with the San Antonio Rampage (2018-19). In addition to a Stanley Cup, Fabbri won a gold medal with Team Canada at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship.
