Skoog scored twice in AHL Charlotte's 4-3 win over Iowa on Friday.
Skoog has racked up five goals and 10 points over 12 contests this season. He had just 24 points in 72 regular-season outings a year ago, but he clearly showed something that earned him a one-year contract in July. The 26-year-old forward's uptick in scoring is a positive sign, but it's still unlikely to lead to anything more than a brief call-up to the Panthers this season if injuries pile up for the NHL roster.

Panthers' Wilmer Skoog: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Skoog was put on waivers by Florida on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Skoog had nine goals, 24 points and 63 PIM in 72 regular-season outings with AHL Charlotte in 2024-25. The 26-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut, and there's no guarantee that it will come this campaign. Look for him to rejoin the Checkers if he clears waivers.
