Mackie Samoskevich, a rookie right winger for the Florida Panthers, has quickly established himself as a vital player on the team during its pursuit of another Stanley Cup. Coming from a year spent mostly with the Charlotte Checkers, he played a small role in last year's championship run. This season, he has scored 10 goals and added 10 assists, ranking him among the top rookies in the NHL. His performance speaks both to his talent and the impact of the Panthers’ playoff success on his aspirations and confidence.
"It's so cool what they've done the past few years and playoffs. I found myself up there thinking 'I want to be out there in the years to come.'"
"Entering Florida's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Samoskevich has 10 goals and 10 assists, making him the 13th player in franchise history with double-digit goals and assists as a rookie."
