Which Columbus Blue Jackets players have also played for Florida Panthers? Puckdoku NHL Grid answers for August 13

In the first column of today's Puckdoku NHL Grid, the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Florida Panthers are the two teams that need to be solved.

To get this NHL grid solved, one must be aware of the history of the two teams. The Blue Jackets have been part of the National Hockey League for just over two decades . They compete in the Metropolitan Divison of the Eastern Conference.

The Panthers, meanwhile, have been part of the league for three decades. The Cats represent the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. Both the Blue Jackets and Panthers are yet to lift the coveted Stanley Cup.

Notably, there are only 33 players to have skated for both the Blue Jackets and Panthers. Derek MacKenzie is perhaps the best pick to complete this NHL grid.
