Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Earns first NHL point

Samoskevich registered an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Samoskevich set up a Jesper Boqvist tally in the first period. The helper was Samoskevich's first NHL point, which came in his 13th appearance. Over six games this season, the 21-year-old forward has added nine shots on net, seven hits and a minus-3 rating. He's filled a bottom-six role in 2024-25, though he's averaged 12:20 of ice time to help offset the absences of multiple injured forwards.
