"The Florida Panthers will be on the ice for training camp in Ft. Lauderdale today with Group 1 getting started at 1 p.m. and Group 2 going at 3:30 p.m. According to general manager Bill Zito, Matthew Tkachuk will be out until December (don't hold him to it) and fourth line center Tomas Nosek will also be out for a few months following offseason knee surgery."
"Vilmanis is an easy player to like due to the pace and energy he brings to shifts. He got to a lot of pucks and outmuscled players often in battles. He's not the most creative forward you will ever see, but he had good flashes of skill with the puck. He looked like a player with a legit shot to become a bottom-six wing in the NHL."
"Prospect Stepan Zvyagin drew an assist on the game-opening goal in Dinamo-Molodechno's 2-1 win over Brest in action from Belarus' Extraliga. Zvyagin has started the season with six points in five games. Stepan Gorbunov registered two shots on goal in Traktor Chelyabinsk's 2-0 victory over HC Avtomobilist in action from the KHL. Gorbunov has scored one goal in six games with Traktor."

Lauderdale with Group 1 practicing at 1 p.m. and Group 2 at 3:30 p.m. Matthew Tkachuk is expected to be out until December and fourth-line center Tomas Nosek will miss several months after offseason knee surgery. The Charlotte Checkers unveiled new uniforms featuring a stripe pattern inspired by Florida's sweaters.
