Shortly before Wednesday afternoon’s trade deadline the Florida Panthers swapped minor leaguers with the New Jersey Devils. Florida traded right winger Shane Harper to New Jersey. In return, the Panthers received defenseman Reece Scarlett.
Harper is a 28-year-old right winger who made his NHL debut earlier this season with the Panthers and played in 14 games, yielding two goals and one assist. In 39 games with the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds this season, Harper had 7-12-19 totals.
He will report to New Jersey’s AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils.
