SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – The Florida Panthers made a roster move on Tuesday, assigning forward Connor Brickley to the Portland Pirates, the team’s AHL affiliate.
Brickley was not expected to make the Panthers opening night roster but a strong showing in rookie camp, followed by a solid training camp and preseason led to him being kept with the club.
The 23-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft by the Panthers.
He played in 10 games with Florida this season, recording one goal and two assists to go with 14 penalty minutes.
