The Florida Panthers acquired forward Frank Vatrano on Thursday from the Boston Bruins in exchange for a third-round pick in 2018.

Vatrano is interesting add for the Panthers, as the winger is currently on injured reserve with a lower-body issue and hasn't suited up for any game action since Feb. 6.

Prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old East Longmeadow, Mass., native had registered two goals in 25 games this season.

As for the Bruins, the deal restocks their draft board for this summer, replacing the third-round pick they sent to the New York Rangers on Tuesday in the Nick Holden deal.
