Florida Panthers Assign Jesse Puljujarvi To Charlotte
Puljujarvi, who joined the Panthers organization midway through the season, has seen time in both the NHL and AHL this year. In 31 NHL games with the Panthers and Pittsburgh Penguins, he scored four goals and added six assists for 10 points. Across 26 AHL games with Charlotte and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, he put up six goals and 16 points.
Drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the 2016 NHL Draft, Puljujarvi has played in a total of 387 career NHL regular season games with the Panthers, Penguins, Oilers and the Carolina Hurricanes. In that span, he has collected 58 goals and 70 assists for 128 points.
With Puljujarvi being assigned to the AHL, he will have an opportunity to play a big role for the Checkers as they look to make a run to the Calder Cup. Still a capable depth player on an NHL roster, Puljujarvi has not been able to secure a full-time role over the last couple of seasons but could see another team take a swing at him during the offseason.

Panthers release first depth chart of 2025 season
The Carolina Panthers officially released their first unofficial depth chart of the 2025 campaign on Tuesday night, just a few days ahead of their preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. Here's how their initial listing for the summer has rolled out . . . Quarterback Running back Wide receiver Tight end Left tackle Left guard Center Right guard Right tackle Defensive end Defensive tackle Outside linebacker Inside linebacker Cornerback Safety Head coach Dave Canales revealed some of his plans for the first two preseason games in an interview on Up & Adams this past Friday. "My plan is to play a series or two with the starters for the first two preseason games," Canales told host Kay Adams. "So, I'm excited to get them out there. It goes beyond just the reps in the game. It's the night before, it's the morning of, it's what you eat, it's how you mentally prepare, it's going through your process of body readiness going into the game. Those are valuable reps—as much as going out there actually playing the game." The Panthers will host the Browns from Bank of America Stadium on Friday, with kickoff set for 7:00 p.m. ET.

Michal Postava: Next Great Red Wings Czech Goaltender?
Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has managed to re-stock prospect pool that had been nearly completely barren upon his arrival back to the franchise in April 2019. Not only has Yzerman been known for his savvy drafting, but also willingness to take flyers on players who went un-drafted. One such player is goaltender Michal Postava, who was recently inked to a two-year, entry-level contract by the Red Wings and now represents the latest intriguing figure in Detroit's goalie prospect pool which already includes Sebastian Cossa and Trey Augustine. Postava, who originally hails from Valasske Mezirici, Czechia, understandably has an affinity for Czech-born goaltenders. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. 'I'm a big fan of all the Czech goalies who played in the NHL,' Postava said as originally reported by Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now. '(Dominik) Hasek was among the first ones I watched. Petr Mrazek is one of them, as well as a lot of other guys.' Hasek spent three separate stints during his Hall of Fame NHL career with the Red Wings, the first and third of which resulted in him lifting the Stanley Cup and shortly announcing his retirement from the NHL afterward. Mrazek has now played two stints with Detroit, the second of which lasted only a few months after being re-acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks in March. In late June, the Red Wings traded him to the Anaheim Ducks as part of the deal to acquire John Gibson. Before Mrazek's trade to the Ducks, he briefly spent some time with Postava at the Red Wings' annual Development Camp at Little Caesars Arena. "Yeah, we were talking maybe three days before he got traded,' Postava said. 'So he was welcoming me and telling me to be proud and try hard every day.' Not only is it a prideful thing to be signed by an NHL club, but Postava would love to be Detroit's next great Czech goaltender. "I'm enjoying every moment, and I'm proud to be a part of this organization," he said. 'There have always been a lot of Czechs here, and they are still active in the organization," he continued. "Plus, it's a big club from the Original Six. It's a huge opportunity for me." Speaking of Czechs who are still in the organization, former Red Wings defenseman Jiri Fischer, who had his career come to a frightening end in November 2005 with a near-fatal cardiac event at Joe Louis Arena, currently serves as Detroit's Director of Player Evaluation and gave Postava the inside scoop. 'I talked to Jiri Fisher, and he was telling me like, everywhere what happens and everything that was done here,' Postava said. 'He helped me a lot to get here.' Postava played in 42 games last season for HC Kometa Brno in the Czech Extraliga, and amassed a record of 23-18-0 with an impressive .921 save percentage and three shutouts. He'll be a participant in Training Camp for the Red Wings next month, and could see playing time in the American Hockey League with the Grand Rapids Griffins.
