Recalled from minors Vilmanis was called up from AHL Charlotte on Saturday.

Impact Vilmanis is tied for the Charlotte team lead in points with 19 in 31 games. The 21-year-old was selected in the fifth round of the 2022 Draft and managed nine goals and 18 assists in 61 AHL games during the 2024-25 campaign. He has yet to make his NHL debut and could be the Panthers' 13th forward Saturday in Ottawa.

Puts up three points in AHL win Vilmanis scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Charlotte's 5-1 win over Toronto on Friday.

Impact Vilmanis ended a seven-game goal drought, a span in which he had just two assists. The Latvian forward is still working on his consistency in his second AHL campaign, but with 10 points and a plus-10 rating over 16 appearances, he's taken a clear step forward. He was limited to nine goals and 27 points in 61 regular-season outings in 2024-25.

Nets two goals for Checkers Vilmanis scored twice on four shots in AHL Charlotte's 5-3 win over Springfield on Saturday.

Impact Vilmanis lasted around the Panthers' camp for a while, but he fell short of the Opening Night roster. The 21-year-old winger is in the second season of his three-year, entry-level contract and has yet to make his NHL debut. He's produced two goals and five points over eight games with the Checkers so far, so a call-up to the Panthers is unlikely in the near term.

Impact Vilmanis dealt with an undisclosed injury in late September, and he was ultimately unable to land a spot on the Panthers' Opening Night roster. Although he hasn't yet made his NHL debut, Florida is already dealing with several injuries ahead of the regular season, and Vilmanis could be a candidate to be called up if the team's injuries continue to pile up.
