Panthers' Tobias Bjornfot: Taken off waivers
Bjornfot was claimed off waivers by Florida from Vegas on Friday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
Bjornfot has no points, two PIM, two hits and five blocks in three games between LA and Vegas this season. The Panthers will likely use him as a depth option, and Bjornfot may consequently spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch.

Golden Knights' Tobias Bjornfot: Waived Thursday
Bjornfot was put on waivers Thursday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Bjornfot, who was activated from long-term injured reserve Wednesday after recovering from an undisclosed issue, has no points, two hits and five blocks in three games between LA and Vegas this season. If he clears waivers, Bjornfot will presumably be sent to AHL Henderson. The Golden Knights can afford to send him to the minors after acquiring Noah Hanifin from Calgary on Wednesday.

Bjornfot (undisclosed) was activated from long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Bjornfot was recalled from his conditioning loan in the AHL on Saturday. There's no immediate path for playing time for Bjornfot, especially since the Golden Knights acquired Noah Hanifin from the Flames on Wednesday to strengthen their defense.

Golden Knights' Tobias Bjornfot: Back from conditioning loan
Bjornfot (undisclosed) was recalled from his conditioning loan Saturday with AHL Henderson and remains on long-term injured reserve, per CapFriendly.
Bjornfot hasn't played for the Golden Knights since Jan. 13, but he may soon be ready to return. With Vegas having eight healthy defensemen, it's unclear if he'll be able to get back into the NHL lineup. He may be waived for demotion to Henderson when he's activated.

Golden Knights' Tobias Bjornfot: Sent on conditioning loan
Bjornfot (undisclosed) will join up with AHL Henderson on a conditioning loan, the team announced Thursday.
Bjornfot previously played nine games in the minors with the Reign before Vegas claimed him off waivers in early January. The defender played in just two NHL contests with the Knights before landing on injured reserve and missing the last 12 contests. Even once cleared to play, Bjornfot is far from a lock for a spot in the Golden Knights' lineup, especially once Shea Theodore (upper body) is back.

Golden Knights' Tobias Bjornfot: Placed on injured reserve
Vegas has put Bjornfot (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Golden Knights' Tobias Bjornfot: Selected off waivers
Bjornfot was claimed off waivers by the Golden Knights from the Kings on Thursday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Bjornfot wasn't getting work with the Kings, having last played at the NHL level Oct. 11. Had he cleared waivers, he would have likely reported to AHL Ontario where he would have played regularly. However, Vegas likely sees potential in the 22-year-old defenseman, who LA selected with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. Bjornfot is a particularly useful grab for Vegas currently because the Golden Knights are missing defensemen Ben Hutton (upper body), Shea Theodore (upper body) and Kaedan Korczak (lower body).

Kings' Tobias Bjornfot: Waived Wednesday
Bjornfot was put on waivers Wednesday.
Bjornfot has appeared in just one game with LA this season. Although an undisclosed injury is part of the reason for that, he was activated off the injured reserve Dec. 14, so over the Kings' last eight games, the 22-year-old has simply been a healthy scratch. Bjornfot should get an opportunity to play regularly with AHL Ontario if he clears waivers.

Kings' Tobias Bjornfot: Finishes conditioning stint, off IR
Bjornfot (undisclosed) completed his conditioning loan with AHL Ontario on Thursday. He also has been activated off the injured reserve list, per the NHL media site.
Bjornfot hasn't played with LA since Oct. 11 because of the injury. He has logged nine contests with Ontario, though he hasn't recorded a point over that span. With Bjornfot off IR, he'll likely serve as the Kings' seventh defenseman, which will result in him frequently being a healthy scratch.

Bjornfot, who is on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, has been sent to AHL Ontario on a conditioning loan.
Bjornfot hasn't played for LA since Oct. 11. He did report to AHL Ontario on Nov. 16 for a conditioning stint, but he was then injured in an AHL game last Tuesday. That led to him being recalled by the Kings and put on IR. Once he's fully healthy and returns to LA, he will likely serve primarily as the seventh defenseman and regularly be a healthy scratch.
