With little surprise, the Florida Panthers opted to send Jacob Markstrom to the AHL on Sunday. Tim Thomas' return off of the IR and Markstrom's struggles made it an easy decision to go with Thomas - Scott Clemmensen as Florida's duo. The first year of Markstrom's two-year contract is two-way, so the Panthers bought themselves some time with the big Swede, who has struggled mightily this season. Thomas' shaky health hints at a possible return for Markstrom at some point, however.
