Coach Joel Quenneville doesn't expect Weegar (face) to play Tuesday against the Bruins, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quenneville said he would have a better update Monday, but it seems Weegar will aim to get ready for Thursday's matchup against the Jets. Weegar has 10 points through the first 17 games. Josh Brown may enter the lineup if Weegar's officially ruled out.

Weegar took a puck to the side of the head and won't return to Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar was ushered off the ice with help from a trainer while holding a towel over his face. Before exiting the contest, Weegar recorded his 10th point of the year. He'll aim to get healthy for Tuesday's matchup against the Bruins. Otherwise, Josh Brown will likely slot into the lineup.

Weegar notched two assists while adding three shots, three hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

The performance earned him the night's first star. Weegar continues to impress, scoring three goals and eight points in 11 games to begin the season, and the 25-year-old is thriving alongside Aaron Ekblad on the Panthers' top pairing.

Weegar scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 with two hits in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar has been a pleasant surprise with three goals and six points in 10 games to start the year. He had four goals and 15 points throughout last season, but the 25-year-old has taken on first-pairing duties in 2019-20. He's averaging 20:37 per game, which has assuredly helped increase his production -- but he's also shooting 15 percent, compared to a career rate of 5.6 percent.

Weegar picked up a goal and an assist during Monday's 6-3 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

With four points through the first six games, Weegar is off to a hot start. Last season he scored a career-high 15 points, a number he seems sure to top. It doesn't hurt that he has earned a spot on the first defensive pairing with Aaron Ekblad, skating 22:11 in the contest. He should grab the eye of any owner in a deep league, as he will continue to get opportunities with the Cats' top offensive players.

Weegar picked up his first helper of the season in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar saw his highest ice time of the season at 21:13. So far he has averaged 18:32 in time on ice through the first five games, more than a minute and a half more than last season's average of 16:58. In Saturday's contest, he was bumped up to the first defensive pairing with Aaron Ekblad.

Weegar scored his first of the season in a 6-3 loss to Carolina on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar's goal stopped the bleeding for the Panthers after they went down 5-0 less than two minutes into the second period. The Panthers would manage to bring the deficit to 5-3 before letting in an empty-net goal to effectively end the game. Weegar already has more responsibility under new head coach Joel Quenneville, shifting from the bottom pair to the second pair with Anton Stralman. He will likely top the career-high 15 points he scored last season.

Weegar signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract with Florida on Monday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar set career highs last season in nearly all categories, including games played (64), goals (four), assists (11) and shots (79). The addition of Anton Stralman (lower body) will likely prevent the 25-year-old Weegar from taking on a top-4 role, but he should be in contention to play a full 82-game schedule, which would likely allow him to push for the 20-point mark.

Weegar filed for salary arbitration Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar collected 15 points for the Panthers last season while logging 16:58 of ice time per night. Should he and Florida fail to reach an agreement on a new deal, it will fall into the hands of a neutral arbitrator.

Weegar was qualified by Florida on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Weegar is the biggest name on the Panthers' list of qualifying offers. The 24-year-old missed some time due to injury this past season, but saw his ice time jump to 16:58 per game when he was in the lineup. The Ottawa native figures to be a near lock for the Opening Night roster versus Tampa Bay on Oct. 3 and could push for the 20-point mark.
