Prospect Spotlight

Oliver Okuliar

Okuliar will have plenty to be proud of in his first pro year in North America.

The 24-year-old Slovakian forward has registered 30 points (14 goals, 16 assists) and a +6 plus/minus ranking in 61 games for the Charlotte Checkers.

Helping the Checkers punch their seventh straight ticket to the Calder Cup Playoffs, Okuliar ranks fifth in goals, sixth in points, sixth in shots (118) and first in penalty minutes (97).

Matvei Shuravin

It’s been a career season for the mobile Russian defenseman.

In 38 games for Krasnaya Armiya Moskva of the MHL, the 2024 third-round pick (97th overall) has tallied 24 points (four goals, 20 assists) and a +26 plus/minus rating.

Providing additional offense late in the season, the 19-year-old has logged seven points (two goals, five assists) and a +6 plus/minus rating in the last 10 games.

Anton Lundmark

On Thursday, the Panthers announced the signing of 23-year-old Anton Lundmark.

“Anton is a robust forward who has elevated his game rising through the professional hockey ranks in Sweden,” Panthers President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Bill Zito said in the team’s official release. “We look forward to his continued development in our organization.”

The 6-foot-4 Swedish forward has recorded nine points (five goals, four assists) in 49 games for Timrå IK of the SHL.
