SUNRISE, Fla. - Florida Panthers General Manager Bill Zito announced today that the club has re-signed defenseman Lucas Carlsson to a one-year, two-way contract.
"Lucas is an effective two-way defenseman who possesses a high compete level," said Zito. "We are pleased that he will remain a part of our organization as we head into next season."

Carlsson, 25, recorded nine points (3-6-9) over 40 games with Florida in 2021-22, all at even strength. He also appeared in eight American Hockey League (AHL) games with the Panthers affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, producing six points (1-5-6) and a plus-nine rating.
The 6-foot, 189-pound native of Gävle, Sweden has skated in 58 career NHL games with Florida (2021-22) and the Chicago Blackhawks (2019-20 to 2020-21), logging 11 points (3-8-11). Over 143 career AHL games, Carlsson has registered 77 points (18-59-77).
