• Panthers' MacKenzie Weegar: Ties team record for blueliner

  04/25/2021 •

  Weegar scored a career-high four points (one goal, three assists) in a 4-3 overtime victory over Carolina on Saturday. Weegar tied a team record for most points in a game by a defenseman. He has 29 points, including four goals, in 47 games, but had just one assist in the six games prior to this outburst. That means that many fantasy managers likely chose someone else to activate Saturday. Weegar gets next to no power-play opportunities, so his 29 points are hard-fought. Not bad for a seventh-round pick (2013).
