The Florida Panthers have announced that they have signed forward MacKenzie Entwistle to a two-year, two-way contract.
Entwistle was with the Panthers organization this past season, where he played for their AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers. In seven regular-season games with the AHL squad, he posted one goal, one assist, 10 penalty minutes, and a plus-2 rating. He also appeared in eight post-season games with Charlotte, recording two goals, one assist, and 20 penalty minutes.

By bringing back Entwistle, the Panthers will continue to have a forward with a good amount of NHL experience in their system. In 193 career NHL games over four seasons, all with the Chicago Blackhawks, Entwistle has recorded 15 goals, 35 points, 86 penalty minutes, and 404 hits. His last appearance at the NHL level was during the 2023-24 season.
Overall, this is a low-risk depth move here by the Panthers. It will be intriguing to see what kind of season Entwistle puts together in 2025-26 from here.
