Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Contributes assist in loss

Samoskevich notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

For the season, the 23-year-old forward is up to 18 points, 77 shots on net, 67 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 35 appearances in a middle-six role.
