Weegar (rest) was paired up with Aaron Ekblad (lower body) at Monday's practice, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After taking the last two games off, Weegar was back in his customary role at practice. The blueliner was a crucial piece of the Panthers' leading the league in goals per game this year (4.11), as he set new career bests in goals (eight), assists (36) and shots (203). Still, looking ahead to the playoffs, Weegar's productivity could drop a little if Ekblad is cleared to return as Weegar would then have to play in a slightly more defensive posture.

Weegar (rest) will not play Thursday in Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

With the playoffs starting next week, Weegar and four other Panthers will rest for Thursday's game. It's unclear how many of the players sitting out Thursday will suit up for Friday's regular-season finale in Montreal, though.

Weegar notched an assist, four shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar set up a Maxim Mamin goal in the third period. With a goal and six assists in his last seven games, Weegar's offense is back on track after a quiet March. The 28-year-old blueliner has posted career highs across the board with 42 points, 189 shots on net, 167 hits, 148 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a plus-39 rating in 74 contests.

Weegar had two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar assisted on Sam Reinhart's second-period power-play goal, which cut Florida's deficit to 5-2 and started a streak of five unanswered Panthers goals. His second helper came on Jonathan Huberdeau's overtime winner. Remarkably, Radko Gudas' shorthanded goal was the only other point by a Panthers defenseman in this offensive extravaganza. The blueliner has three points over his last two outings following a slump of 11 straight without a point.

Weegar delivered two assists in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar has been a tremendous asset for the Panthers; he's collected 34 points (six goals, 28 assists) through 55 games to complement 107 blocked shots and 133 hits. This season, the burgeoning defenseman has been on the ice for 3.9 team goals per 60 minutes of play in all situations, which explains why he's averaging a whopping 23:25 of ice time.

Weegar recorded an assist and went plus-4 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar set up Carter Verhaeghe's empty-netter at 13:18 of the third period. In his last five games, Weegar has a goal and three assists, though he had been limited to one four-point effort in his previous nine outings. The defenseman has 29 points, a plus-28 rating, 117 shots on net, 120 hits and 99 blocked shots through 49 contests. He's sturdy defensively and no slouch on offense either -- Weegar should continue to provide well-rounded production in fantasy.

Weegar provided a goal in an 8-4 win over the Blue Jackets on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar has points in back-to-back games now after having been quiet in the points column in the previous six contests. The blueliner is at 27 points in 46 games this season.

Weegar generated an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar snapped a six-game point drought with a clutch secondary assist that helped force overtime. While he's struggled of late, the Panthers likely have no complaints about Weegar since he's demonstrated remarkable year-over-year improvement on both ends of the ice. This season, the top-pairing blueliner is up to three goals, 23 assists, 94 blocked shots and 117 hits; he'll sail to career highs if he can sustain that lofty production.

Weegar had a goal and three assists in Saturday's 9-2 victory over Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

What a game. His goal was a shorty and it stood as the winner. Weegar continues to show how valuable he is to the Florida offense and fantasy rosters in all formats. His 25 points in 38 games put him on track for a remarkable 50-plus point season -- he's done almost all of it without power-play exposure. Weegar has just one power-play point this season.

Weegar (COVID-19 protocols) returned to practice Tuesday after clearing the league's protocols, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar appears to have benefited from the league's extended Christmas break, as he appears set to return to action against the Rangers on Wednesday without missing any games. The Ottawa native has yet to find the back of the net this season but has generated 15 helpers in 29 appearances.
