Last season Lammikko played in Finland where he ranked second on his team with 51 points in 57 games. He was with the Florida Panthers back in the 2018-19 season and appeared in 40 regular season games, where he tallied six assists.

This is certainly a depth move for the Panthers who agreed to a two-way contract with the native of Noormarkku, Finland. He's also appeared in over 140 AHL games where he's scored 20 times.

Lammikko was originally drafted by the Panthers back in 2014, a third-round selection, 65th overall.
