Chris Tierney is headed back to the NHL, as the Panthers have recalled the veteran forward from Charlotte.

After recovering from an injury that had sidelined him since mid-December, Tierney was sent to Charlotte and suited up for the Checkers in last night’s loss to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Tierney - a veteran of over 550 NHL games - now returns to Florida, where he has posted three points (2g, 1a) in five games for the Panthers this season.
