- The Panthers have brought up forward Aleksi Heponiemi from AHL Charlotte, per the AHL’s transactions log. The 22-year-old is off to a decent start to his season with 11 points in 17 games with the Checkers. Heponiemi played in nine games with Florida last season, collecting a goal and an assist while logging just over 12 minutes a game. WPLG’s David Dwork notes that Aleksander Barkov was transferred to IR to open a spot for Heponiemi’s recall.
