Matheson was sent down to AHL Portland on Wednesday, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

After less than two weeks with the Panthers while drawing into only two games, Matheson is returned to AHL Portland to continue his development. The former first-round pick showed a deft scoring touch during his three-year career at Boston College and has put up 14 points in 43 games for AHL Portland. He'll be a name to watch down the line, but as of now, isn't ready to contribute full-time at the NHL level.
