Team loses one of their core player for the second time this season!

Nick Bjugstad missed 19 of his team 39 games prior to the season with a hand injury. In fact, the giant centerman played his first game on the 22th of November with limited time of ice for the first few weeks.

Bjugstad struggled to get his game back together this season scoring only once and adding an assist for 2 points in 20 games despite averaging more than 14 minutes of icetime.

Following a faceoff in his defensive zone, Bjugstad appeared to twist his leg in a weirdly manner. The Panthers forward still managed to skate back to his team's bench by himself but left the game shortly after.
