The defense had been called into serious question as of late, with the Florida Panthers conceding 20 goals in their last three games against Boston, Toronto, and Montreal.
Vincent Trocheck called the defensive effort “embarrassing” after the team’s 6-1 loss at the hands of Montreal, eliminating them from playoff contention.
So, the Panthers made some minor alterations to the lineup last night. The biggest move being newly signed defenseman Brady Keeper replacing Mike Matheson in the lineup, pairing up with MacKenzie Weegar.
The 22-year-old’s story had been incredible so far and had another great chapter written last night, with his family members coming to Ottawa to fully support him.
