Mike Santorelli scored again in Tuesday's shootout.
He is 10 for 19 in his career during the NHL's breakaway competition, which gives him some value to the Winnipeg Jets down the stretch. "I'm glad it went in," Santorelli said. "I'll help any way I can. I just kind of read off the goalie. I've got a couple of moves. I just go in thinking of one and take whatever. Today my was first one but I was a little bit nervous. I'm glad we got the extra point." The Jets are tied with the New York Rangers for the final playoff spot so any extra points they can muster in shootouts could be the difference down the stretch. Santorelli has one regulation time point, an assist, in five games with Winnipeg since being claimed off waivers from Florida. Apr 17 - 9:17 AM

Mike Santorelli suited up for Florida on Tuesday after being placed on waivers for the third time since June.

He logged 13:05 of ice time in Florida's 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay. In 24 games this season, Santorelli has three points and a minus-7 rating.
Apr 3 - 8:31 AM

Florida Panthers place Mike Santorelli on waivers.

Santorelli has two goals and three points in 23 games this season and hasn't registered a point since March 16. He has no value in any format.
Apr 2 - 12:31 PM

Mike Santorelli enjoyed a two-point night, but the Panthers fell 4-3 to the Islanders on Saturday.

Santorelli isn't much of an offensive threat, though he did have a 20-goal season two years ago. Right now, though, Santorelli has just two goals and three points in 16 games. T.J. Brennan and Marcel Goc picked up the other markers.
Mar 16 - 10:11 PM

Mike Santorelli has taken Stephen Weiss' old spot in the locker room at BB&T Center.

"Maybe it brought me a little luck," said Santorelli, who netted his first NHL goal of the season Tuesday. "It's a change, but sometimes change is good right? It's nice to get this first goal, it took a little bit, but it's something I haven't been thinking about. I'm just trying to let the game come to me." Even with Weiss expected to miss the rest of the year following wrist surgery, Santorelli will probably remain in Florida's bottom-six group.
Mar 7 - 6:45 AM

Mike Santorelli has been called up by the Florida Panthers.

Santorelli has two goals and five points in seven AHL games this season. He might have some fantasy value if he gets top-six minutes.
Feb 18 - 6:22 PM

Despite being demoted to the AHL, Mike Santorelli is still regarded favorably by Panthers' coach Kevin Dineen.

Santorelli had been a healthy scratch for half of Florida's games this season and with the return of Marcel Goc Thursday was the odd man out and sent to San Antonio. "I believe Santo is a top six player and his skill set is as a higher-end skilled forward,'' Dineen said. "Right now we don't have that fit for him. So he needs to either diversify his game or get a major dose of confidence. I hope some time in the American League will give him that jolt of ice time he needs to turn things around.'' The Cats' can remain hopeful, you don't have to. Cut him if he is still on your fantasy squad.
Feb 2 - 9:40 AM

Mike Santorelli was loaned to AHL San Antonio on Wednesday.

Santorelli has played in three of Florida's first six games and he cleared waivers just before the start of the year. His demotion opens a potential roster spot for Marcel Goc and it means that rookie Drew Shore will be sticking with the team for the time being.
Jan 31 - 10:25 AM

Mike Santorelli opened the season on Florida's top line with Stephen Weiss and Tomas Fleischmann due to Kris Versteeg's absence because of injury.

On Monday against Ottawa, he was bumped down to the third unit. Santorelli was placed on waivers last week, but he has stuck around with the team as an injury replacement.
Jan 22 - 9:45 AM

Mike Santorelli has been placed on waivers by the Florida Panthers.

Santorelli had nine goals and 11 points in 60 games with the Panthers in 2011-12. He'll probably clear waivers, given his $1.6 million cap hit.
Jan 17 - 1:37 PM

Mike Santorelli is primed for a difficult fight for a roster spot with the Panthers this season.

The 28-year-old forward played in 60 games in 2011-12 but registered a mere 11 points and was waived in the offseason. Santorelli cleared waivers and is ready for a battle to break camp with the Cats after a brief stint in Sweden during the lockout. You always have to earn a spot no matter who you are,'' said Santorelli, who "The day you're satisifed is the day it's over. I got to get back to playing my style of game. I got to get to the dirty areas in front of the net, get some rebounds and use my speed.'' That said, Santorelli has no fantasy value.
Jan 12 - 9:25 AM
