After losing Derek MacKenzie Saturday afternoon in Boston, and already down Nick Bjugstad, the Florida Panthers have recalled center Corban Knight from the AHL Portland Pirates
This will be Knight's first stint with the Panthers, the team who selected him in the fifth round of the 2009 NHL Draft. The 25-year-old pivot has appeared in nine NHL games back when he was a member of the Calgary Flames. He returned to the Florida organization via trade on January 9, 2015 with Drew Shore going to the Flames.
