The Panthers wrap up their season with games that don’t mean much, forgettable contests many fans, players and coaches won’t remember down the road.
Well, not all players.
For youngsters like rookies Denis Malgin, Ian McCoshen and MacKenzie Weegar, these final games are a chance to play in the NHL, an opportunity to catch the eye of management heading into the offseason.
For McCoshen and Weegar, this has been quite the week as both made their NHL debut.
In Saturday’s home finale against Buffalo, both were in the lineup together for the first time and likely will be again Sunday against Washington in the last game of the season.
