SUNRISE, Fla. - Florida Panthers President of Hockey Operations & General ManagerDale Tallon announced today that the Panthers have agreed to terms with defenseman Alec Rauhauser on a one-year, two-way contract.

Rauhauser, 25, appeared in 38 games with Bowling Green State University (WCHA), producing a team-leading 35 points (11-24-35), fourth-most among defensemen in the NCAA.
