Ahead of their game against Colorado, the Florida Panthers recalled defenseman Tobias Björnfot from AHL Charlotte, likely indicating that Seth Jones will miss the game due to a Winter Classic injury. Björnfot, who has yet to debut in the NHL this season, was previously claimed off waivers from Vegas and has 134 NHL games under his belt. His AHL performance has not stood out, but he remains the most NHL-ready option in Charlotte. While Björnfot’s current stint may be brief with Jones expected to return soon, he could have future opportunities as the Panthers face potential roster changes.
