Carter Verhaeghe Back In Action Tuesday
7 months agoFlorida Panthers forward Carter Verhaeghe (upper body) will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. The forward has missed the past six games after leaving an April 1 contest against the Maple Leafs in the second period with an upper-body injury. Verhaeghe returned to practice on Monday and should provide a boost to a struggling Panthers power-play unit. "It is good for us because, when Carter went down, our power play kind of went down," Panthers head coach Paul Maurice said. "We were trying to affix a word to describe him; he is not the catalyst, but he is the fixer." The 28-year-old has tallied 33 goals and 71 points, including 21 power-play points, across 75 games on the campaign.
