Florida Panthers

Carter Verhaeghe notched one assist Monday night in the Panthers' 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact: Verhaeghe has cooled off in the offensive zone of late for the Panthers, picking up points in just three of his last eight games (five goals, one assist) for the club. The 27-year-old center has offered a mostly steady option for fantasy owners as part of a revamped Florida forward group this season, tallying 72 points (41 goals, 31 assists) in 80 games so far this season.

Aaron Ekblad posted one assist Thursday night in the Panthers' 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Fantasy Impact: Ekblad has recorded points in four of his last nine games for the Panthers, scoring two goals and picking up three assists in that span. The 27-year-old blueliner has had a down year to this point for fantasy owners, tallying 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) in 65 games so far this season.

Aleksander Barkov Jr. notched one assist Thursday night in the Panthers' 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Fantasy Impact: Barkov Jr. is in the midst of a scorching hot stretch in the offensive zone for the Panthers, registering points in 12 of his last 13 games (four goals, 14 assists) for the club. The 27-year-old center has offered steady output for much of the season for fantasy owners, posting a 1.10 point per game average (20 goals, 48 assists) in 62 games so far this season.

Sam Reinhart picked up two assists in the Panthers' 5-2 win over the Canadiens Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact: Reinhart continues a strong stretch in the offensive zone for the Panthers, recording points in nine of his last 11 games (seven goals, seven assists) for the club. The 27-year-old center will play a key roe for a Florida squad fighting for an Eastern Conference wild card spot, picking up 59 points (28 goals, 31 assists) in 76 games so far this season.

Anton Lundell notched three points for the Panthers Thursday night, scoring two goals and picking up one assist in a 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Fantasy Impact: Lundell has been abysmal in the offensive zone of late for the Panthers, picking up points in just three of his last 14 games (three goals, one assist) for the club. The 21-year-old center has not offered much consistent production for fantasy owners so far, posting just 32 points (12 goals, 20 assists) in 67 games so far this season.

Matthew Tkachuk tallied four points for the Panthers Thursday night, scoring three goals and picking up one assist in a 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Fantasy Impact: Tkachuk has been mostly steady in the offensive zone of late for the Panthers, notching points in eight of his last 11 games (10 goals, 10 assists) for the club. The 25-year-winger has offered explosive production for much of the season for the Panthers, carrying a 1.38 point per game average (38 goals, 63 assists) in 75 games so far this season.

Sergei Bobrovsky was shelled in net for the Panthers Thursday night, allowing five goals on 26 shots faced in a 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact: Bobrovsky has been dreadful between the pipes of late for the Panthers, allowing more than three goals in three of his last five starts (3-1-1, .864 save percentage) for the club. The veteran netminder will hope to do enough to keep the Panthers afloat in the Eastern Conference wild card race as the season nears its conclusion, posting a 3.03 GAA and .902 save percentage in 48 starts (24-18-3) so far this season.

Sam Bennett was able to find the back of the net for the Panthers Saturday night, scoring one goal in a 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Fantasy Impact: Bennett has picked up points in four of his last seven games for the Panthers, scoring four goals and adding two assists in that span. The 26-year-old center has fought through consistency issues for much of the season for fantasy owners, notching 36 points (15 goals, 21 assists) in 57 games so far this season.

Spencer Knight stopped 29 of 33 shots Sunday in the Panthers' 5-1 loss to the Stars.

Fantasy Impact: Knight is in the midst of a rough stretch in the crease for the Panthers, allowing three or more goals in each of his last five starts (1-4-0, .842 save percentage) in net. The 21-year-old netminder has lost a firm grip on the No. 1 goaltending spot for the time being, posting a 3.05 GAA and .906 save percentage in 19 starts (9-7-3) between the pipes so far this season.

Gustav Forsling was able to light the lamp for the Panthers Friday night, scoring one goal in a 3-2 win over the Red Wings.

Fantasy Impact: Forsling has now posted points in seven of his last 11 games for the Panthers, scoring two goals and picking up six assists in that span. The 26-year-old blueliner has been solid while Aaron Ekblad continues to return to form on the ice for the Panthers, registering 26 points (six goals, 20 assists) in 40 games so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: Staal didn't play in the NHL last season but signed a one-year deal off of a professional tryout with the Panthers this season. The long-time NHLer last played in the league in the 2020-21 campaign, tallying 13 points across 53 games split between the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens. Barring a major turn of events, his fantasy-relevant days are well behind him.

Florida Panthers forward Colin White recorded an assist in Tuesday's loss versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

Fantasy Impact: White notched his helper on Eetu Luostarinen's third-period tally, but the Panthers eventually fell 4-2 to the Blackhawks. He's off to a nice start with his new club, notching six points through seven games, albeit with just nine shots on goal. In a bottom-six role without power-play reps, White should be left on the waiver wire.

Florida Panthers forward Eetu Luostarinen notched a goal in Tuesday's loss versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

Fantasy Impact: Luostarinen found the back of the net midway through the third period, but it wasn't enough in an eventual 4-2 defeat. Skating on a line with sophomore Anton Lundell, Luostarinen has enjoyed a nice start, posting three goals and six points across seven games, albeit with just nine shots on goal. The 24-year-old could play his way into fantasy relevance if this type of production continues but beware of the unsustainable 33.3% shooting rate.

Florida Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour recorded an assist on Tuesday's loss versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

Fantasy Impact: Montour also skated a massive 28:24 on the night, recorded two shots on goal, and notched a hit as well. He's going to see massive ice time -- both even strength and on the top power-play unit -- in the absence of Aaron Ekblad while he's recorded three points in as many games since returning from an upper-body injury.

Duclair had the primary assist on Florida's second period goal in their loss to the Golden Knights.

Fantasy Impact: The Panthers forward is having a career season, having already set single season highs in goals (24) and points (46).

Fantasy Impact: Frank Vatrano has a modest 19 points (10 goals, 9 assists) in 49 games this season. Vatrano has been playing predominantly on the fourth line on a potent Panthers team and could see an increased workload with the Rangers. That being said, Vatrano is likely not a viable fantasy option in most formats.

Patric Hornqvist registered his 13th assist and eighth goal of the year in a 3-0 win over the Senators. He finished with an even rating, six SOG, and two hits.

Fantasy Impact: Hornqvist has not had the offensive season fantasy managers were hoping for. His two point effort tonight puts him at 21 points in 44 games this season. He is best left on the waiver wire for now.

MacKenzie Weegar scored his sixth goal of the season in a 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets. He finished with a +1 rating, five SOG, four hits, and one block.

Fantasy Impact: Weegar extended his point streak to five consecutive games. He has 32 points in 52 games for the Panthers this season.

Jonathan Huberdeau tallied his 18th goal and 56th assists of the year in a 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets. He finished with a +1 rating, three SOG, and one hit.

Fantasy Impact: Huberdeau just continues to produce night after night for the Panthers. He has five consecutive multi-point games and a nine game point streak.

Radko Gudas provided fantasy managers with some peripheral stat help on Sunday, helping the Panthers down the Blackhawks 5-2. He didn't tally a point but registered a plus-1 rating, four PIMs, one shot, eight hits and five blocks.

Fantasy Impact: Gudas is not known for his scoring touch so anything in the goals category is a bonus, but he can be well relied upon to show up for hits, blocks and PIM. He's sitting on a league-leading 208 hits and 67 blocks and 59 penalty minutes.
