HOCKEY 15

PRO

Sam Anas L’11 Minsk Dynamo 21 GP, 14.45 minutes TOI/G, 5G 11 A, 1 PPG, 1 OTG, 1 GWG  

Patrick Giles, Charlotte Checkers ;Florida Panthers, 7/7 GP, 33:00 TOI 

The injury suffered to Tomas Nosek during Florida’s preseason win over Nashville created an opening for someone to step up and earn some NHL playing time. 

Undrafted forward Patrick Giles has taken the opportunity and run with it. 

The 24-year-old has been playing some solid two-way hockey, producing on the offensive end while showing the coaching staff that he’s far from a liability when skating back on defense. 

There is still a ways to go before Giles earns a spot on the Opening Night roster, but if he continues on his current path, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him wearing a Panthers sweater in a couple weeks. 

“He’s had a good camp, and his statistics aren’t as important as the improvement year over year, because we wouldn’t see him play a whole lot,” said Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice. “So the guy comes out and he’s considerably faster than he was last year. He’s got good hands around the net for a big man. He’s making a case. He’s done what he needs to do to this point in the camp, he’s moved himself up the depth chart.”
