South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 12/03/2024 - 10:34 AM

There’s an excellent reason for both moves. With Bobrovsky and his wife expecting a baby, the Panthers recalled goaltender Chris Driedger from their AHL affiliate in Charlotte on Monday and loaned Samoskevich to the Checkers to ensure that the move would be salary-cap compliant. The Panthers were scheduled to play at Pittsburgh on Tuesday and at Philadelphia on Thursday. Bobrovsky is 11-5-1 this season for the defending Stanley Cup champions.
