The Panthers have acquired German Rubtsov, Claude Giroux, Connor Bunnaman and a 2024 fifth-round pick from the Flyers for Owen Tippett, a 2024 first-round pick and a 2023 third-round pick.

With Michael Raffl out with an upper-body injury, Rubtsov will draw in on the fourth line on Tuesday. He has no points in three NHL games this season and has 12 points (2G / 10A) in 28 AHL games.
Michael Raffl is questionable to play Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, so Rubtsov could play in his fourth career NHL game. The 21-year-old has two goals and 10 assists (12 points) in 28 AHL games this season.
Rubtsov is a former first-round drafted pick (No.22 overall in 2016) and he was one of three players to be summoned from the AHL ahead of Friday's game in New Jersey. Rubtsov could make his NHL debut today after registering six points (1G / 5A) in his first seven games of the AHL season.
