Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Tallies in rout
Rotowire
Carlsson supplied a goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.
The Panthers have Carlsson working on the third defensive pair, but he's starting 63.6 of his shifts in the offensive zone, which keeps him from being completely irrelevant in fantasy leagues. The 24-year-old has contributed three goals and six assists through 32 games, which is a solid line for a guy averaging 12:22 of ice time.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Sparks comeback with first NHL goal
Rotowire
Carlsson scored his first NHL goal and added an assist in Thursday's 7-4 win over Buffalo.
Carlsson was the unlikely source of the spark the Panthers needed to come back from an early 3-0 deficit. He got them on the scoresheet in the second with his first goal in 26 career NHL appearances, and the 24-year-old blueliner notched another milestone just 2:35 later, logging his first multi-point game thanks to an assist on Sam Reinhart's goal. Carlsson came into this one with just three points in 25 games spread across three seasons, so expectations should remain tempered moving forward, but he had a night he'll never forget.

The 24-year-old hasn't done much at the NHL level, posting two points in 18 games with Chicago over the last two seasons. Carlsson is off to a great start with AHL Charlotte this year, though, with six points in eight games, so it wouldn't be surprising if he made his Panthers debut soon.

Panthers' Lucas Carlsson: Grabs one-year pact
Rotowire
Carlsson penned a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Monday.
Carlsson saw action in 12 games with the Blackhawks this season in which he garnered one assist, 10 shots and six hits while averaging 13:04 of ice time. After being acquired by the Panthers at the trade deadline, the blueliner went unused on the NHL roster but evidently showed the organization enough to stick around longer. Given his two-way deal, fantasy players should be expecting Carlsson to split time between the AHL and NHL this year.
