After an admiral rookie season that saw MacKenzie Weegar have a spot in the Florida Panthers’ squad for a majority of the season, Weegar began to build on that season.
The 25-year-old played a career-high 64 games last season, recording career highs in goals, points, blocks, hits, and more throughout the 2018-19 campaign.
Weegar alternated between defensive partners a lot last season, mostly playing on the bottom pair with either Ian McCoshen, Josh Brown, or Bogdan Kiselevich in the early parts of the season.
Weegar also occasionally played alongside Keith Yandle on the second pair when Mark Pysyk struggled, which helped him increase his confidence.
