Carlsson signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Carlsson generated 20 goals and 54 points in 61 AHL games with Charlotte last season. He also appeared in two NHL contests with the Panthers during the 2022-23 campaign. The 25-year-old defender is likely to spend most of next season in the minors.

Carlsson was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carlsson was sent to Charlotte on April 25. He had three goals and six points in seven AHL playoff games during his short stint with the Checkers. The 25-year-old defenseman had a productive regular season with Charlotte, racking up 20 goals and 34 assists in 61 games. Carlsson was pointless in two NHL games this season. He will provide some depth on the blue line for the Panthers in the playoffs.

Carlsson was assigned to AHL Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carlsson sat as a healthy scratch in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins following his recall from the minors. Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday in Game 5, which will presumably bump Casey Fitzgerald back to the press box.

Carlsson was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carlsson played two games early in the season with the Panthers and had three hits with one blocked shot. He spent most of the season with AHL Charlotte, where he exploded for 20 goals and 54 points in 61 regular-season games. Carlsson was recalled, as Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is expected to be a game-time decision Sunday and the Panthers may need another defenseman.

Carlsson was reassigned to the AHL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Carlsson has no points, two shots, a block and three hits in two games with Florida this season. He might find himself back with the Panthers later in 2022-23, but it will probably only be as a depth option.

Carlsson was recalled by the Panthers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Aaron Ekblad (lower body) and Brandon Montour (upper body) are both on the shelf, so Carlsson is expected to slot into a bottom-pairing role Wednesday versus Philadelphia. Carlsson picked up nine points through 40 games with the Panthers last campaign.

Florida waived Carlsson on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carlsson scored nine points in 40 games with the Panthers last season. Florida is in a tight cap crunch and this move is likely related. If he clears waivers, the 25-year-old blueliner should be back with the team in the near future.

Carlsson signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Panthers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Carlsson appeared in 40 games for the Panthers last season and will try to secure a full-time NHL role in camp. The 25-year-old Swede had nine points at the NHL level in 2021-22 and six points in eight games with AHL Charlotte.

Carlsson supplied a goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Carlsson scored his first NHL goal and added an assist in Thursday's 7-4 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

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.
