The Florida Panthers will have some added bite when they face the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
Forward Nick Bjugstad is set to make his season debut after suffering a hand injury in preseason, according to George Richards of the Miami Herald.
The 24-year-old was a key figure last season on a Panthers team that qualified for the postseason for just the second time since 2001.
The Panthers sit fifth place in the Atlantic with a 10-8-1 record through 19 games.
