Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Opens scoring Saturday
Rotowire

Rodrigues generated a goal and an assist in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Stars.
Rodrigues opened the scoring before adding a secondary assist on Aleksander Barkov's first-period marker. Rodrigues added two shots, two hits, and a plus-2 rating in 13:33 of ice time.
