The Panthers have recalled Chris Driedger from Springfield (AHL).
Driedger has been outstanding in the AHL this season, posting a 2.09 GAA and .938 SV% in 14 games. His terrific play has translated into just six wins but is enough for him to be given an opportunity to be Sergei Bobrovsky's backup moving forward. Sam Montembeault heads the other way to take his spot as Springfield's starter.
Send Down
The Panthers have sent Sam Montembeault to Springfield (AHL).
Montembeault has struggled as the Panthers' backup this season, posting a 3.31 GAA and .889 SV% in five appearances. Florida sent him to the AHL to try and find his game and recalled Chris Driedger, who has an impressive .938 SV% in the AHL this year.

Montembeault will start Sunday vs. the Sabres.
The Panthers have recalled Riley Stillman from Springfield (AHL).
Stillman has no points in three games with the Panthers and has picked up just two points (1G / 1A) in 13 games on the Springfield blueline this season. There's no word on if Stillman will play on Sunday bit if all six defensemen are healthy, he could replace Josh Brown or Mark Pysyk.
