MacKenzie recorded four hits and blocked five shots in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

MacKenzie is still searching for his first point in the 2017-18 season, but Florida's captain is still filling out the stat sheet with his physicality and defense. With MacKenzie's niche on the team already carved in as a bottom-six leadership role, another season around 10-to-20 points seems probable for the 36-year-old.

MacKenzie scored the game-winning goal Sunday against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first point in 14 games for MacKenzie, who was only valuable in the deepest of leagues this season. The captain is a great leader on the Panthers, but his six goals and 16 points left lots to be desired from a fantasy perspective. MacKenzie helps owners with 50 PIM and strong hit totals, but if you're looking for offense, it's few and far between.

MacKenzie potted a shorthanded goal while adding an assist and plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 road win against the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

MacKenzie also managed four hits and while added a blocked shot. He is now up to 138 blocks on the season. The veteran does not see any time on the power play and he remains strictly a bottom-six forward. He remains useful only in the deepest of pools at this point.

MacKenzie has 10 points while receiving an average of 12:15 of ice time across 41 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old is having his best season as a Panther, and -- if he can increase his scoring pace just a tad in the second half -- could conceivably challenge his career high of 23 points set in 2010-11 with the Blue Jackets. MacKenzie doesn't see a lick of power-play time and is a fixture in the team's bottom six, however, so he's not likely to make any fantasy shockwaves anytime soon.

MacKenzie scored a goal and an assist in the 4-2 victory over the Canucks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This was the center's first goal since Nov. 19 and marked the first time he has registered multiple points in a single night. MacKenzie has three goals and seven points in 29 games.

MacKenzie scored his first goal of the season during Monday's win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

MacKenzie's offensive production is rare, and his defensive role makes him an undesirable fantasy asset. The Florida captain is more valuable to his team than your virtual squad.

MacKenzie tallied an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the rival Lightning. He also skated to a plus-2.

EDGE Analysis

The newly minted Panthers captain's point came on Colton Sceviour's shorthanded marker, making his offensive production that much more unlikely. MacKenzie is in his third season in South Florida and has just 25 points in 149 games during that span, so it's clear that his value lies solely in his on-ice leadership and checking roles rather than in the fantasy arena.

MacKenzie will re-sign with the Panthers on a two-year extension worth an estimated $2.6 million, Harvey Fialkov of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The extension will cover MacKenzie through the 2018-19 season, and he'll be paid out at a similar annual rate to what he's received on his current deal. MacKenzie, who tallied six goals and 13 points in 64 games last season, is expected to continue serving in a fourth-line role for the Panthers.

MacKenzie (foot) will rejoin the lineup for Thursday's game against the Devils, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

An expected return Thursday has come to fruition, ending the 34-year-old's two-week absence due to a foot injury. While his physical presence (143 hits) among the bottom-six certainly helps the Panthers, it doesn't translate much to the fantasy realm, so his return to the lineup shouldn't have much of an impact on that front.

MacKenzie (lower body) won't return to action Tuesday against the Maple Leafs, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although he won't suit up for Tuesday's contest, Mackenzie is reportedly on the verge of returning to game action, as he's expected to play Thursday against the Devils. The 34-year-old forward's impending return won't impact many fantasy owners' lineups, as he's only notched 13 points in 59 games this season, and doesn't have much to offer in terms of fantasy value. Those keeping tabs on MacKenzie's availability can expect an update on his status ahead of Thursday's tilt against New Jersey.
