Panthers Claim Senators Defenseman Donovan Sebrango Off Waivers

The move fills depth on Florida’s blue line after Dmitry Kulikov’s shoulder surgery sidelined him into the spring.

Overview

  • Florida’s claim was reported Wednesday, and the Panthers must make a corresponding transaction because their roster is at capacity.
  • Ottawa placed the left-shot defender on waivers Tuesday to open a spot with Drake Batherson set to be activated from injured reserve.
  • The Senators’ blue line crunch followed Tyler Kleven’s return, which left the club carrying eight defensemen.
  • Sebrango, 23, has four NHL games, arrived in the 2023 Alex DeBrincat trade, and is on a two-way deal as a pending RFA with arbitration rights.
  • He will compete to help cover Kulikov’s vacancy on Florida’s left side next to Jeff Petry, with Uvis Balinskis currently in that role.
