The Checkers returned home with a tightly contested battle against Hershey Saturday afternoon, but couldn’t quite muster up a rally before time expired on a 2-1 defeat.
The Florida Panthers have recalled forward Wilmer Skoog from the Checkers.
Skoog, 26, has posted a career-high 37 points (18 goals, 19 assists) in 59 games with Charlotte this season. The Stockholm, SWE, native has spent his entire AHL tenure with the Checkers, skating in 180 games over the last three seasons, scoring 49 goals and adding 43 assists. Skoog currently ranks in the top five of each major offensive category (goals, assists, points) on the Checkers roster.
He is yet to make his NHL debut.
The temperature is rising outside and the calendar has flipped to April, which can only mean one thing in the AHL - the home stretch of the regular season is finally here.
