Lafferty was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, according to Panthers TV Rinkside Reporter Katie Engleson.
Lafferty registered one goal, two points, nine shots on net, five blocked shots and 35 hits in 29 regular-season games for Chicago in 2025-26. With Aleksander Barkov (knee) unavailable, Lafferty will likely make his Florida debut against Anaheim on Sunday.
