Headed back to minors
The Florida Panthers announced they have recalled goaltender Chris Driedger from their AHL affiliate Charlotte Checkers.
Driedger was called up from AHL Charlotte on Sunday, per PuckPedia. Driedger figures to serve as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup the rest of the season, barring other moves, after Spencer Knight was dealt to Chicago for Seth Jones.
The general manager of the defending champs explains the decision to go get Jones and what else his team might need before the deadline.
The Florida Panthers star will miss the remainder of the regular season with a groin injury he sustained while playing for Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off.
The Florida Panthers made another trade Wednesday, swinging a deal with the San Jose Sharks for goalie Vitek Vanecek. Vanecek, who has played five seasons in the NHL, is expected to backup Sergei Bobrovsky moving forward.
