Stephen Weiss recorded his first goal since Dec. 5 during Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado. He had been goalless in 15 straight games before scoring off his hand against the Avalanche. Weiss was in need of a break and he got one, but now it will be up to him to carry on a more positive trend moving forward.

Stephen Weiss' goalless slump has been extended to 14 games. Weiss is also battling through a four-game pointless skid and has just one assist in his last eight contests. Weiss got off to an amazing start, but he seems to be falling back to Earth. Overall, he still has a solid 11 goals and 33 points in 41 contests, but we wouldn't be surprised if he does a little worse than that in Florida's final 39 games.

Stephen Weiss has not scored a goal in his last 12 games. He has contributed just four assists over that span as well. The surprising Southeast Division-leading Panthers will need their top center to regain his earlier success if the club wants to maintain its narrow lead over the hard-charging Winnipeg Jets and Washington Capitals. Weiss is third on the team in points with 33 after 39 contests.
