Bogdan Kiselevich: Headed for Russia
Kiselevich is set to move to the KHL next season, likely with CSKA Moscow, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
After being traded to Winnipeg from Florida at the deadline, Kiselevich failed to break into a single game for the Jets. In his 32 appearances with the Panthers, the blueliner notched eight assists, 14 shots and 12 PIM while averaging 14:51 of ice time. Despite being just 28 years of age, this likely means the end of the Russian's time in the NHL, as he would need to tear it up in the KHL to earn his way back.

Jets' Bogdan Kiselevich: Returns to practice
Kiselevich -- who has been dealing with an illness -- returned to practice Friday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Kiselevich has yet to suit up for the Jets since joining the team at the trade deadline, in part due to his illness. The 28-year-old could struggle to break into the lineup even when healthy, though Sami Niku figures to be the likeliest candidate to get bounced should the team opt to insert Kiselevich into the blue line.

Jets' Bogdan Kiselevich: Won't play Tuesday
Kiselevich won't be in the lineup for his new team against the visiting Wild on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
The 29-year-old was shipped to Winnipeg from Florida in exchange for a seventh-round pick Monday. Kiselevich has been underwhelming this season, racking up just eight points in 32 games. Sami Niku will likely continue to slot into the lineup in the meantime.

Jets' Bogdan Kiselevich: Lands with Jets
The Panthers traded Kiselevich to the Jets on Monday in exchange for a seventh-round pick, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Kiselevich provided extra insurance for the Panthers with Mike Matheson (lower body) rounding out his recovery, but even so, 14:51 of average ice time from the Russian isn't all that much for a defenseman that you need to count on for fantasy production. He could see a similar supporting role in Winnipeg, as Josh Morrissey (upper body) and Dustin Byfuglien (lower body) and Joe Morrow (lower body) are all tending to their respective injuries.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Added from Springfield
The Panthers recalled Kiselevich from AHL Springfield on Friday.
Kiselevich's recall doesn't guarantee he's in the lineup, considering the Panthers feature seven other healthy defensemen, but he could have a chance to draw in either Saturday against the Capitals or Sunday versus the Lightning if coach Rick Tocchet decides to switch things up. The KHL import posted some decent offensive numbers during his time in Russia, though it's translated to just eight assists through 31 games with the Panthers.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Back to Springfield
Kiselevich was assigned to AHL Springfield on Thursday, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
With MacKenzie Weegar (concussion) expected to return Friday, the Panthers needed to open up a roster spot. Kiselevich had been a healthy scratch the past four games and has just eight assists in 31 games. Florida will likely move on from Kiselevich -- an unrestricted free agent at season's end -- after 2018-19.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Dishes two assists
Kiselevich assisted on two goals during a 4-3 shootout loss to the Oilers on Thursday.
This was the Russian's second career multi-point game and his first points in eight games. Kiselevich now has eight points in 29 contests on the Panthers' bottom pairing. Ian McCoshen figures to remain a spare on the blue line as long as Kiselvich continues to provide ancillary scoring.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Draws back into lineup
Kiselevich recorded one hit, a blocked shot and two penalty minutes during a 5-1 loss to the Penguins on Tuesday.
After a one-game absence, Kiselevich was back in the lineup for the Panthers as they were blown out by the Penguins. The third-pairing defenseman actually ended up skating 20 minutes in the game -- a career high -- after head coach Bob Boughner sat Keith Yandle for the entire second half of the game.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Collects assist in loss
Kiselevich was credited with a secondary assist during a 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday.
The assist is Kiselevich's fifth of the season. The Russian rookie has been steady on the third pairing for the Panthers but doesn't have enough points or good enough peripherals to be owned outside the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Obtains second NHL point
Kiselevich assisted on the Panthers' second goal of the game during a 4-1 victory over the Oilers on Thursday.
Although Kiselevich has been a steady presence on the bottom pair, the offense has yet to come for the first-year Panther from Russia. This was his second point of the season (both assists) as he battles Mackenzie Weegar for a permanent starting spot as Mark Pysyk closes in on his return from injury.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Inching closer to return
Kiselevich (jaw) was in a regular practice jersey Friday and head coach Bob Boughner seemed to imply the defenseman will be in the lineup against the Canucks on Saturday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Kiselevich was impressive in the preseason but broke his jaw during the Panthers' final game. Coach Boughner has had great things to say about the 28-year-old blueliner, who will likely take either Jacob MacDonald or Alex Petrovic's spot in the lineup if he is ready to go for Saturday. This would be Kiselevich's debut in the NHL after he spent his last nine seasons in the KHL.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Gearing up for NHL debut
Kiselevich will make his NHL debut Saturday evening against the Canucks, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
Kiselevich sustained a broken jaw in the final preseason game, but he'll tough it out and replace Jacob MacDonald, who will simply be a healthy scratch. Now 28 years old, Kiselevich has nine years of experience playing in the KHL. The left-shooting defenseman failed to score a goal with CSKA Moscow last season, but he did accumulate 16 helpers though 44 games.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Won't play Thursday
Kiselevich (jaw) has been ruled out of Thursday's home opener against Columbus, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Coach Bob Boughner believes there's a chance Kiselevich will be ready to make his Panthers debut Saturday against Vancouver, but if not, he'll have to wait for Tuesday's matchup with the Flyers for his next opportunity to get into the lineup. The 28-year-old blueliner spent last season in the KHL, totaling 16 helpers in 44 games.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Doubtful for Thursday's home opener
Kiselevich (jaw) is doubtful to play in Thursday's home opener, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
The rookie continues to deal with the lasting effects of a jaw injury. If Keslevich does, in fact, miss Thursday's game, Jacob MacDonald and Alex Petrovic figure to comprise the team's third pairing. Prior to 2018-19, the 28-year-old Kiselevich had spent nine seasons playing in the KHL.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Unfit to play Saturday
Kiselevich (jaw) will not be in Saturday's lineup versus the Lightning, Steve Goldstein of Fox Sports Florida reports.
Panthers coach Bob Boughner was holding out hope that the rookie defenseman would be fit to play in the opener, but apparently Kiselevich is still feeling the effects of his jaw injury. Jacob MacDonald and Alex Petrovic should comprise the third pair in the meantime.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Not ruled out Saturday
Coach Bob Boughner wouldn't rule Kiselevich (jaw) out for Saturday's matchup with Tampa Bay, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Kiselevich appears to be ahead of schedule after taking the ice Wednesday sporting a full face shield to protect his broken jaw. Whenever the blueliner does return to the ice, he will likely need to play with the shield for a bit, but it should have minimal impact on his game.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Could hit ice next week
Kiselevich (upper body) has been advised that he can resume skating next week, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
While staying on the ice will help Kiselevich stay fit, he may not be able to join his teammates on the ice and absorb contact, which could keep him sidelined for a significant stint of time. What is clear is that the blueliner won't be in action against Tampa Bay for Opening Night on Saturday. In the Russian's stead, Jacob MacDonald could survive final cuts and make the 23-man roster.

Panthers' Bogdan Kiselevich: Leaves with injury
Kiselevich exited Saturday's game against the Lightning with an upper-body injury.
Though this injury was given the abstract "upper body" designation, the defenseman took a puck in the face right before he left. With a week off until the Panthers' next game, Kiselevich should have time to heal if nothing is broken.
