Panthers' MacKenzie Weegar: Rips home wrister

Seven of Weegar's 14 points this season have come in his last 10 games as the Panthers have done surprisingly well down the stretch. After starting the season as the team's eighth defenseman, Weegar has done well enough to solidify a starting spot next season -- although his fantasy relevance will be minimal.

Panthers' MacKenzie Weegar: Rare scoring outburst

The 25-year-old blueliner only has three goals on the season and five in 113 career NHL games, so it's fair to say this performance was unexpected. Weegar has already set a new personal best with 11 points on the season -- barring a significant change in his role, he should remain an afterthought in the Florida attack on most nights.

Panthers' MacKenzie Weegar: Directs three shots on net

He missed the previous four games due to a lower-body injury, but he held his own in his return. Weegar isn't known for stuffing the scoresheet, so this modest fantasy output is quite respectable.

Panthers' MacKenzie Weegar: Slated to return Tuesday

After four games in the press box, Weegar should retake his spot among the pairings looking to follow-up on his two assists dished out in the game prior to his exit. Considering he didn't total a point in the 14 games prior to his two-assist effort Feb. 25, a repeat performance seems unlikely. Regardless, the third-year defenseman has posted a career-high nine points through 47 games this season, marking some improvement on the offensive end of the ice. Unless he finds his way on to the power play, there's little reason to consider Weegar in any but the deepest of leagues.

Panthers' MacKenzie Weegar: Not in lineup Sunday
