• Islanders' Richard Panik: Loaned out of organization

  10/13/2022 • By RotoWire

  Panik was loaned from AHL Bridgeport to HC Lausanne of the Swiss league Wednesday, per CapFriendly. Panik got into four games with the Islanders last year, but it's clear he's not part of their immediate NHL-level plans. The 31-year-old will likely get playing time with Lausanne, but expecting him back in the NHL this year would be a stretch.

  Panik was elevated from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Panik figures to immediately step into the lineup against the Flames on Saturday, as the team will be without Ross Johnston, Josh Bailey, Anders Lee or Anthony Beauvillier, all of whom are currently in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. It will be Panik's first game of the season for New York after starting the year in the minors, where he has tallied just two goals in 11 contests.

  Panik was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday. Panik originally stayed up with the team after clearing waivers but had not been reassigned to the minor-league club. The 30-year-old winger should be atop the list of potential call-ups throughout the upcoming campaign should the need arise.

• Islanders' Richard Panik: Clears waivers

  10/11/2021 • By RotoWire

  Panik has cleared waivers but remains with the team, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Panik had very little chance to make the team out of camp. His best chance to stay with the club will be as an extra forward, but general manager Lou Lamoriello may be keeping him with the team as he tries to make a trade or two rather than risk a team claiming someone like Kieffer Bellows on waivers. If the Islanders don't make a trade of some sort by the roster deadline Monday, Panik will likely see himself ticketed for Bridgeport of the AHL.
