Agrees to one-year contract Skoog signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Red Wings on Wednesday.

Impact Skoog had two assists, a plus-3 rating, four PIM, two hits and five blocks in three regular-season appearances with Florida in 2025-26. He also had 18 goals, 37 points and 51 PIM in 61 regular-season outings with AHL Charlotte last campaign. The 26-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot with Detroit during training camp, but he'll probably begin 2026-27 in the AHL.

Doesn't receive QO The Panthers did not present a qualifying offer to Skoog on Monday, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Impact Skoog is now set to test the free-agent market Wednesday. The Swedish forward made his NHL debut with Florida this past season, picking up two helpers over three games. Skoog also had 18 goals, 37 points and a plus-12 rating across 61 regular-season games with AHL Charlotte in 2025-26. Those are relatively solid numbers for a player who was never drafted by an NHL team, so Skoog should be able to secure at least a two-way contract when free agency kicks off Wednesday.

Impact Skoog was an injury replacement over the last three games of the season, and he was able to come away with a pair of helpers in the finale. He added four shots on net, five blocked shots, two hits, four PIM and a plus-3 rating. The 26-year-old is likely headed back to AHL Charlotte soon to help the Checkers on their playoff run.

Summoned from AHL Skoog was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday.

Impact Skoog has 18 goals and 37 points in 59 AHL appearances this season. He will be an option for Saturday's matchup against Toronto, but it's currently unclear if the 26-year-old forward will make his NHL debut.

Three-point effort in AHL win Skoog scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Charlotte's 8-2 win over Springfield on Wednesday.

Impact Skoog had been running a little cold with just two goals over his last eight outings before breaking the slump. He's up to 13 goals, 23 points and 80 shots on net over 35 outings this season. Skoog is one point shy of matching his 72-game point total from the 2024-25 regular season, and he's eight behind his 2023-24 performance, which came in 49 appearances.

Two tallies in AHL win Skoog scored twice in AHL Charlotte's 4-3 shootout win over Iowa on Friday.

Impact Skoog has racked up five goals and 10 points over 12 contests this season. He had just 24 points in 72 regular-season outings a year ago, but he clearly showed something that earned him a one-year contract in July. The 26-year-old forward's uptick in scoring is a positive sign, but it's still unlikely to lead to anything more than a brief call-up to the Panthers this season if injuries pile up for the NHL roster.

Placed on waivers Skoog was put on waivers by Florida on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Skoog had nine goals, 24 points and 63 PIM in 72 regular-season outings with AHL Charlotte in 2024-25. The 26-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut, and there's no guarantee that it will come this campaign. Look for him to rejoin the Checkers if he clears waivers.

Pens one-year contract Skoog inked a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Thursday.

Impact Skoog has spent the last two seasons in the minors after a four-year career at Boston University. The 26-year-old had nine goals and 15 assists over 72 AHL regular-season contests with Charlotte, a big drop from the previous season in which he had 22 goals and nine helpers in only 49 regular-season games with the Checkers.
