Ben Steeves - Another big game for Charlotte Steeves scored twice and added an assist in AHL Charlotte's 8-2 win over Springfield on Tuesday.

Impact Steeves has seven points over his last three games. That accounts for nearly one-third of his 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) over 34 appearances this season. Steeves had 28 points in 60 regular-season outings last year, but he's taken a step up in his second full AHL campaign.

Mike Benning - Three points in AHL win Benning scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Charlotte's 8-2 win over Springfield on Tuesday.

Impact Benning was limited to two points over his previous 10 outings. The defenseman is now at four goals, 17 points, 65 shots on net and 28 PIM over 34 appearances this season. Benning's development, at least on offense, has mostly stalled out since reaching the AHL, though at 24 years old, he could still find another level.

Uvis Balinskis - Snags power-play assist Balinskis registered a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact Balinskis ended a 12-game point drought when he set up Sam Reinhart's goal 2:35 into the game. The 29-year-old Balinskis doesn't typically get much power-play time, though he has picked up some recently since Seth Jones (upper body) exited the lineup. For the season, Balinskis has eight points, 31 shots on net, 47 hits, 26 blocked shots and 24 PIM across 36 appearances in a bottom-four role.

Sam Bennett - Helps out twice Monday Bennett dished out two assists, put four shots on goal, served two PIM and tallied two hits in Monday's 4-3 win over Buffalo.

Impact Bennett played his hand in both of the goals scored by his linemate A.J. Greer, including the empty-netter to add to the team's lead late in the contest. With the pair of helpers, Bennett is up to 19 assists, 35 points, 115 shots on goal, 91 hits and 21 blocks through 45 games this season. Since Dec. 6, the 29-year-old center has been on fire with 22 points, 58 shots on net and 40 hits across 19 games. The second-line center leads the Panthers in points during that span and is 11th across the entire NHL since then. He also remains on pace to best his career high in points if he can surpass the 51 he totaled a season ago. With the Panthers needing to sharpen their play down the stretch to earn a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, Bennett will likely continue to lead by example, giving him a strong outlook in nearly all fantasy formats.

Anton Lundell - Lights the lamp in win Lundell scored a goal and placed four shots on net in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact Lundell snapped his six-game goal drought Monday when he gave the Panthers a 3-2 lead midway through the final period. With the twine finder, he is up to 14 goals, 33 points, 104 shots on net, 51 hits and 29 blocks through 45 games this season. He's stepped up to the task of centering the team's top line this season and is on pace for the first 50-plus point campaign of his five-year NHL career. Lundell is also a steady source of category coverage stats, giving him value in nearly all fantasy formats for the remainder of the regular season.

Carter Verhaeghe - Records hat trick of helpers Verhaeghe distributed three assists in Monday's 4-3 win over Buffalo.

Impact Verhaeghe helped out on Sam Reinhart's power-play goal and both of A.J. Greer's scores on the way to the team's second straight win. Verhaeghe has been at the center of the offense during Florida's pair of wins with a goal and four assists. Overall, the 30-year-old winger is up to 21 assists, 34 points, 99 shots on goal and 46 hits over 44 games this season. While he continues to heat up in hopes of sparking a push towards a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, Verhaeghe remains a valuable fantasy file in nearly all league formats and could score upwards of 65 points at his current pace.

A.J. Greer - Nets pair of goals Greer scored two goals, including an empty-net tally, and placed two shots on net in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact Greer tallied a goal in the first period to put the Panthers up 2-1 before he later buried an empty netter to give the team a 4-2 lead. The two-goal performance was his second of the year and third multi-point outing, proving that he has big-game potential when he's asked to play big minutes. Overall, the 29-year-old winger has nine goals, 17 points, 57 shots on net and 113 hits through 45 games this season. After logging a career-high 17 points across 81 games a year ago, Greer has eclipsed that point total in nearly half the time this season. He's also averaging a career high in ice time among his full seasons played, which sets him up nicely to make the 2025-26 season his best year in the NHL.

Sam Reinhart - Opens scoring on power play Reinhart scored a goal and fired seven shots on net in Monday's 4-3 win over Buffalo.

Impact Reinhart ended a four-game streak without a point when his power-play goal less than three minutes into Monday's contest gave the Panthers an early 1-0 lead. The twine finder brought the 30-year-old winger up to 24 goals, 45 points, 123 shots on net, 45 hits and 28 blocks through 45 games this season. Despite the recent cold stretch, he has maintained above a point-per-game pace since the start of December with 22 points in 21 games. While he likely can't afford to go on a quiet stretch offensively if the Panthers are to start pushing for a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, Reinhart has displayed incredible stretches of consistency throughout his career. He should challenge for the 80-point threshold this season, which would be his third consecutive year reaching that mark.

Sergei Bobrovsky - Earns second straight win Bobrovsky stopped 20 of 23 shots on net in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact Bobrovsky played with a lead for the majority of the contest and allowed just one goal in each period en route to his second straight win. With Monday's victory, the 37-year-old netminder is up to a 19-12-1 record with a 2.90 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 32 outings this season. While his play hasn't been what it was over the last two seasons, he's done enough to earn his way into the win column nine times since Dec. 6. With the Panthers offense coming to life in their most recent pair of wins, Bobrovsky should continue to benefit as long as he starts to trend towards a .900 save percentage on the year. His next chance to take the ice is Friday in Carolina.
