SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers loaned defenseman Alexander Petrovic to the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL on Thursday.
Petrovic, 34, was initially recalled on Oct. 3.
Returning to the Panthers on a two-year contract in July, Petrovic, who was originally drafted by the Panthers in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft, has registered 60 points (7G, 53A) in 323 career games over the course of his 10-year NHL career.
Aaron Ekblad, who missed the last two games for family-related reasons, is expected to return to the lineup for Florida’s home opener on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild.
