Matheson is dealing with an illness and will return to Florida ahead of Wednesday's game against Anaheim, George Richards of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Florida has four games remaining in its five-game road trip, so it appears as though Matheson could be facing an extended absence. The Panthers are expected to release another update on the 25-year-old blueliner's condition in the coming days, but for now, he can be considered out indefinitely.

Matheson scored a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers' makeshift fourth line of Noel Acciardi between two converted blueliners in Matheson and Mark Pysyk came through with another huge effort, as the trio combined for three goals and eight points on the night. Matheson has two three-point efforts through six games in February but goose eggs in the other four games, making him a risky fantasy option regardless of his role.

Matheson had three assists and three shots on goal with a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Matheson was in on two of Mark Pysyk's three goals while also drawing a helper on Mike Hoffman's game-winner. It was just his second multi-point game of the season, both of which have been three-point efforts. Matheson has six goals and 16 points through 45 games this season.

Matheson picked up an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Matheson is up to 13 points and 82 shots on goal this season. The 25-year-old defenseman has posted back-to-back 27-point campaigns, but he's probably going to fall short of that mark in 2019-20.

Matheson scored his sixth goal of the season in a 4-3 win over the Kings on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After picking up only two points in his first 23 games, Matheson has kickstarted his offensive game. Over his past 17 games, he has scored six goals and 10 points while moving back up to the first defensive pairing with Aaron Ekblad. If he keeps up this new offensive pace he's worth a look as a depth option in bigger fantasy leagues.

Matheson tallied a goal on two shots and added two blocked shots in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Matheson's marker 49 seconds into the second period ended Frederik Andersen's night early. The 25-year-old blueliner is up to five goals and 11 points in 39 games this season. He's added 76 shots on goal, 34 hits and 37 blocks, but Matheson doesn't excel enough at any one thing to warrant much fantasy consideration.

Matheson picked up an assist in a 4-1 win over the Penguins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Through 15 games in December, Matheson scored four goals and eight points with 25 shots on goal. Early in the season Matheson was struggling to pick up points, recording only two in his first 21 games. Despite picking up the offensive pace, Matheson is only on pace to score 21 points after back-to-back 27 point seasons.

Matheson delivered a goal and two assists with a plus-4 rating and two hits in Sunday's 6-5 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first career three-point game for Matheson, who notched the game-winning goal 45 seconds into the third period. It was his third goal of the season, with all of them coming during the month of December. Matheson also had two assists in a game for the first-time since Nov. 2018. He has eight points in 32 games after back-to-back seasons of 27 points.

Matheson scored a goal in Monday's 6-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Just three games after scoring his first goal of the year, Matheson managed to squeak through another. Jonathan Huberdeau swung around the net and fed Matheson at the left circle, who blasted it on goal. Senator's goalie Anders Nilsson got most of the puck, but it found its way into the net. Matheson now has four points in 27 games this season.

Matheson scored his first goal of the season in a 5-1 win over the Sharks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It has been a rough start to the season for Matheson -- who managed only two points and a minus-9 rating through his first 23 games -- but hopefully Sunday's goal breaks the ice for the 25-year-old. He has recorded back-to-back 27 point seasons, but is on pace to only hit 10 this year.
