Hammond will join the Panthers on a professional tryout agreement, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.
Hammond appeared in 11 games last season -- his first NHL action since 2017-18 -- for the Canadiens and Devils, posting a combined 4-5-1 record and .879 save percentage. With Sergei Bobrovsky and Spencer Knight firmly cemented as the Panthers' goaltending duo, Hammond will hope to land a spot with the club's AHL franchise.
