Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Three-game, five-point streak
Rotowire
Verhaeghe scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to Utah. He wired four shots on Vitek Vanecek.
Verhaeghe is on a modest, three-game, five-point scoring streak with eight shots and a plus-four rating. It's curious to note that the winger has just 115 shots in 51 games -- last season, Verhaeghe pelted the puck 242 times, although his shooting percentage (8.3) was stunningly low for a guy with a 13.5 percent career average. This season, he's on a projected 180-shot pace, his lowest since 2021-22.

Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Three points Monday
Rotowire
Verhaeghe had one goal, two assists, a plus-4 rating, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.
Verhaeghe was everywhere for the Panthers, and he made his presence felt early on by assisting A.J. Greer on the opening goal just 11 seconds into the game. Verhaeghe would later add two more contributions in the third period, making it his second multi-point game of the season. Both have come in his last four games, so the 30-year-old might be thawing after a cold start to the season. Verhaeghe has 13 points in 22 games in 2025-26, and with only three goals in that span, his streak of four consecutive regular seasons with at least 20 goals looks to be in jeopardy.

Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Chips in with assist
Rotowire
Verhaeghe dished out an assist, fired five shots on goal and provided two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win against Vegas.
One of Verhaeghe's best all-around performances of the season was highlighted by a primary helper on Sam Reinhart's game-winning goal in the first period. Verhaeghe now has two assists, four points and 28 shots on goal through 10 games this season. It's an encouraging sign to see Verhaghe post two points in his last three games, as Florida will need to get him going with top-line center Aleksander Barkov (knee) done for the season. If his slow start continues, however, stronger options might rise above Verhaeghe in fantasy. For now, it is best to exercise patience with the winger, as he has posted 50-plus points in each of the past three seasons.
