Stillman suffered a left knee injury early in Sunday's win over the Canucks and his designation for IR means he'll miss at least the next three games. Wyatt Kalynuk was recalled from the AHL to take Stillman's spot on the roster in Calgary.
Stillman sat out of Sunday’s season opener but will replace Gustav Forsling in the lineup on Tuesday. Stillman had five assists in 34 games last season.
Stillman played in the final 13 games before the bye week, posting four assists while playing 20:26 ATOI. He went to the AHL over the break but has become an important part of the Panthers' blueline.
Stillman has no points in three games with the Panthers and has picked up just two points (1G / 1A) in 13 games on the Springfield blueline this season. There's no word on if Stillman will play on Sunday bit if all six defensemen are healthy, he could replace Josh Brown or Mark Pysyk.
Stillman picked up one assist in five games with Springfield to start the season but has been called up because Michael Matheson will miss at least 10 days with an undisclosed injury. Stillman will play in his second career NHL game on Tuesday.
