Gustav Forsling News
Forsling has signed an eight-year, $46 million ($5,750,000 AAV) contract extension with Florida on Thursday.

Forsling has been the picture of consistency for the Panthers the last several seasons and has been rewarded with an eight-year, $46 million contract extension. The 27-year-old defender has 30 points (9G / 21A) in 61 games this season, averaging nearly 0.5 points per game, as he has the last two seasons.

Forsling will miss 1-2 weeks with an upper-body injury.

Forsling suffered an upper-body injury in Columbus on Thursday and head coach Joel Quenneville expects him to miss at least one week. The Panthers dressed seven defensemen last game but with Forsling out, they will likely go back to 12 forwards and six defensemen. Expect Aleksi Heponiemi to make his NHL debut in his place.
