The steady playing time is a positive, but his role doesn't lead to a lot of offense. The veteran center has three points, 23 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 18 appearances.

Bound for Sunshine State Stenlund signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Panthers on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact In 54 games with the Jets last season, Stenlund garnered six goals and three assists, including a pair of shorthanded tallies. While the 26-year-old Swede will likely see minutes with the penalty kill for Florida, he won't offer significant value for fantasy players given his limited offensive upside and lack of hits or blocks.

Not given qualifying offer Stenlund didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Jets on Friday and will become an unrestricted free agent.

Impact Stenlund tallied six goals and added three assists in 54 NHL games in 2022-23. The 26-year-old should find another NHL home as a depth forward.

Jets' Kevin Stenlund Roofs Backhand Tip To Tie Game 2 vs. Golden Knights

APRIL 21, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Set to play Stenlund (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Golden Knights, Murat Ares of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stenlund took line rushes in his usual fourth-line center spot, flanked by David Gustafsson and Saku Maenalanen. It appears Stenlund won't miss any games with the lower-body injury he suffered in the regular-season finale.

Remains game-time decision Stenlund (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Game 1 against Vegas on Tuesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Stenlund took part in Winnipeg's optional morning skate Tuesday ahead of the team's playoff opener. He chipped in nine points and 63 shots on goal over 54 games during the regular season. If Stenlund is unavailable, David Gustafsson is projected to center the fourth line in Game 1.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Game 1 Stenlund (lower body) is doubtful for Game 1 versus Vegas on Tuesday, John Lu of TSN reports.

Impact Stenlund hasn't been on the ice since suffering an injury in Thursday's regular-season finale. He is considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old forward registered nine points and 63 shots on goal in 54 games during the 2022-23 campaign. If Stenlund can't play Tuesday, David Gustafsson is projected to fill in on Winnipeg's fourth line.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially labeled game-time call Stenlund (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Knights in Game 1 on Tuesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Previously considered doubtful, Stenlund's prognosis seems a little better for him to be in the lineup Tuesday. After struggling through a 19-game pointless streak, the center ended the 2022-23 regular season with points in the last two games of the year. If Stenlund does suit up, it would likely be in place of David Gustafsson.
