Studnicka was put on waivers Monday versus San Jose, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka has no points, 16 shots and 19 hits in 18 outings with Florida in 2025-26. He was a healthy scratch in the Panthers' past two games. Studnicka will presumably report to AHL Charlotte if he clears waivers.

Studnicka was scratched in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

That's a two-edged sword for Studnicka. He was scratched for the fourth time since his Dec. 1 recall from AHL Charlotte, and he's yet to earn a point in 18 appearances in a fourth-line role. He's added 16 shots on net, 19 hits, six blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-6 rating. Given the Panthers' brutal loss Friday, it seems likely he'll get another chance to play soon, but he hasn't done anything to get the attention of fantasy managers.

Studnicka was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka has contributed one goal and five assists in eight minor-league appearances this season. He will be an option for Tuesday's game against Toronto, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup.

Studnicka scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Charlotte's 4-3 win over Springfield.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka has picked up three points through the first two AHL games of the year. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to carve out consistent NHL time since 2022-23 and didn't earn a single appearance at the top level in 2024-25, but he had 45 points in 72 regular-season games with AHL Ontario last year. Studnicka could get called up by the Panthers if their injury situation gets severe at any point this year.

Studnicka was placed on waivers by the Panthers on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka didn't make any regular-season appearances in the NHL last year and will be left off the Opening Night roster for the 2025-26 campaign. He recorded 16 goals, 29 assists and 64 PIM over 72 regular-season appearances with AHL Ontario last year, and he'll likely spend most of this season in the minors.

Studnicka signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Panthers on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a two-way deal for Studnicka, so he could spend a lot of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Charlotte. The 26-year-old registered 16 goals, 45 points and a plus-4 rating across 72 regular-season games with AHL Ontario this past season. Studnicka last appeared in the NHL in 2023-24 with the Sharks.

Studnicka was waived Sunday to send him to AHL Ontario.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka didn't record a point in 17 appearances with the Sharks during the 2023-24 regular season. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Studnicka signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka had seven goals and 21 points in 36 AHL regular-season contests between Abbotsford and San Jose last year. The 25-year-old also recorded a goal in 22 regular-season outings between the Canucks and the Sharks. Studnicka is likely to start 2024-25 in the minors, but he could get some stints in the NHL during the campaign.

Studnika did not receive a qualifying offer from San Jose and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka appeared in 22 games with Vancouver and San Jose last season but was held to just one goal. He also totaled 21 points in 36 AHL contests. The 25-year-old forward has scored just 16 points in 107 career NHL games.

Studnicka was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka's addition to the roster could be an indication that there is an as-of-yet-unknown injury among the Sharks' forward group. The 25-year-old center has played in nine NHL games for San Jose this season in which he registered seven shots on goal, 13 hits and a minus-6 rating.
