Panthers' Mike Matheson: Earns rare point Monday

Matheson collected an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

The rookie rearguard snapped a nine-game point drought with the assist, and he's now up to eight points in 25 games this season. Matheson has averaged a hearty amount of ice time (19:38) this season and skated in a career-high 24:13 on Monday to fill the hole left by Keith Yandle, who departed early on with a lower-body injury. If Yandle is forced to miss time, Matheson -- a first-round pick from 2012 -- would likely see an uptick in ice time, so those in deeper leagues may want to pencil him onto their watch list.
