Kris Versteeg was on the ice for just 1:19 minutes in the third period of Friday's game. "I think that was a pretty strong reflection of what my feelings were on his play and that's not a one-game snapshot," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. "I don't do that based on one game. I think there's been a stretch of games where he .is such an important leadership role for this team need to play a higher level of hockey." Versteeg is having one of the best seasons of his career, but he has just one assist in his last six games. Maybe being put in Dineen's doghouse will motivate him to snap out of his cold streak.
