The Florida Panthers have recalled forward Chris Tierney from the Charlotte Checkers on an emergency basis. If Anton Lundell, injured in Thursday’s win over Vancouver, is not able to go tomorrow night in Winnipeg, Tierney will replace him in the lineup, unless Aleksander Barkov is ready to meet the team in Manitoba. If Lundell can play against the Jets, Tierney will returned to Charlotte.
After spending the past four seasons with the Ottawa Senators, the 28-year-old Tierney signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on July 16, 2022. Tierney is second in scoring on the Checkers with 16 points in 19 games.
