Panthers' Tobias Bjornfot: Summoned from AHL

Bjornfot was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Sunday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Bjornfot began the season in the NHL as the Panthers' extra defenseman but did not see the ice. With Seth Jones (upper body) expected to miss Sunday's game against the Avalanche, the 24-year-old Bjornfot has been recalled from the AHL to likely fill that same extra defenseman role for as long as Jones is sidelined. Bjornfot has one goal and six assists in 22 games with Charlotte.
