Picks up helper in win Verhaeghe notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning in Game 1.

Impact Verhaeghe helped out on a go-ahead goal by Sam Reinhart late in the first period. The 29-year-old Verhaeghe is turning things around with at least one point in six straight games (three goals, four assists). He had a mediocre regular season of 20 goals and 53 points in 81 appearances, a drop of 19 points compared to 2023-24. He's still logging top-line minutes to begin the playoffs, which puts him in a position to rack up plenty of offense.

Reaches 20-goal mark Verhaeghe scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Verhaeghe has three goals and two assists over his last four outings. He reached the 20-goal mark with that tally and now has 52 points, 242 shots on net, 94 hits, 46 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 80 appearances. It's been a rough regular season for Verhaeghe, at least compared to the previous two campaigns, but he has 55 points in 69 career playoff games, so he should be able to turn up the offense in the postseason.

Two points in Saturday's win Verhaeghe scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sabres.

Impact Both points came in the second period, as the 29-year-old got the Panthers on the board early in the frame before helping to set up a Jesse Puljujarvi tally. Verhaeghe has found the scoresheet in three straight appearances, breaking out of a slump that had seen him manage just one goal and three points in 16 games from March 1 into April, and Saturday's performance has put him over the 50-point mark for the fourth straight season.

Not playing Thursday Verhaeghe (rest) will not be available Thursday versus Detroit, per Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post.

Impact Verhaeghe has been slumping of late, going 13 games without a goal before scoring his 18th of the season Wednesday versus Toronto. The 29-year-old forward is likely to play Saturday versus Buffalo. Look for Jesper Boqvist to reenter the lineup in place of Verhaeghe versus Detroit.

Snaps 13-game goal drought Verhaeghe scored a goal in a 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

Impact Verhaeghe scored into an empty-net goal at at 19:13 of the third to end a 13-game goal drought to seal the 3-1 final. He sits at 49 points (18 goals, 31 assists) with 236 shots in 78 games. That's a far cry from his back-to-back 70-plus seasons over the last two years. But he is just one season removed from a being in consideration for the 2024 Conn Smythe trophy, so Verhaeghe's regular-season production won't matter to Florida. Unfortunately, that does little to help fantasy managers who were counting on a year closer to his previous two.

Impact Verhaeghe's offense has gone a bit cold again in March. He's in a nine-game goal drought and has just two assists with 28 shots on net and a minus-8 rating in that span. He's still part of the Panthers' top six, but he's had a disappointing 2024-25 with 17 goals, 47 points, 224 shots on net, 85 hits, 38 PIM and a minus-20 rating over 73 appearances.
