Latest news
Schwindt was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday.
In five games for the Checkers this year, Schwindt has generated one goal and two assists. His promotion to the NHL roster doesn't guarantee the 25-year-old will be in action versus the Senators on Wednesday, as he'd need to edge out Cole Reinhardt for a spot in the lineup.

Schwindt was put on waivers Sunday, PuckPedia reports.
Schwindt chipped in five goals, seven points, 25 shots on net and 39 hits in 29 appearances for Florida during the 2025-26 regular season. If he clears waivers, he will probably begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors with AHL Charlotte.

Schwindt signed a two-year contract with the Panthers on Wednesday.
Schwindt didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Panthers on Monday, but he'll remain with the organization. Across 29 regular-season appearances with Florida in 2025-26, he recorded five goals, two assists, 39 hits and 11 blocked shots while averaging 10:02 of ice time.

Schwindt was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Panthers on Monday, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.
Schwindt played in 29 games with Florida in 2025-26, accumulating five goals, seven points, 39 hits and a plus-2 rating. The winger missed a considerable amount of time due to injuries. Schwindt has appeared in 78 NHL regular-season games during his career, so he should be able to link up with a new organization July 1.

Schwindt scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Red Wings.
Schwindt has three points over the last seven games. This was mostly a lost year due to injuries, including a broken arm and a lower-body issue. He ends the campaign with seven points, 25 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-2 rating over 29 appearances. Schwindt is scheduled to be a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this summer, but his showing late in the year should encourage the Panthers to sign him before he tests the market.

Schwindt scored a goal on three shots and dished out three hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
Schwindt found the back of the net late in the opening period to tie the game at one apiece. Overall, the 24-year-old winger is up to four goals, six points, 15 shots on net, 30 hits and eight blocked shots across 24 games this season. Since his return from a lower-body injury, he has two points, three shots on net and five hits across two games. With a plethora of injuries in Florida's forward room, Schwindt should see steady playing time for the remainder of the season as the Panthers' fourth-line center.
