The Florida Panthers have announced unfortunate news regarding forward Carter Verhaeghe, who is now considered week-to-week due to an undisclosed injury. With only two weeks left in the regular season, Verhaeghe may not return until Game 1 of the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Verhaeghe quickly established himself as a consistent offensive threat for the Panthers upon joining the team, a trend that continued this season. It's likely that his last regular-season game, up to this point, will see him finish with 33 goals and 71 points in total.
A key player in Florida's run to the Stanley Cup Final last year, Verhaeghe has been a top performer for the Panthers over the past three seasons. Since the start of the 2020-21 Stanley Cup playoffs, he has played 37 postseason games for Florida, scoring 15 goals and tallying 32 points.
