• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Big night on power play

  Rotowire Jun 10, 2025

  Rodrigues scored a goal and an assist Monday, both on the power play, in the Panthers' 6-1 win over the Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. After setting up Carter Verhaeghe for what proved to be the game-winning tally late in the first period, Rodrigues wrapped up the scoring late in the third with a one-timer past Calvin Pickard. The 31-year-old has a four-game playoff point streak going, and since returning from an undisclosed injury for the final game of the second round, Rodrigues has erupted for two goals and 12 points in nine contests, including seven points (one goal, six helpers) with the man advantage.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Supplies assist in win

  Rotowire Jun 7, 2025

  Rodrigues logged a power-play assist and six hits in Friday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Rodrigues has a power-play helper in each of the first two games in the Cup Finals. The 31-year-old was shuffled down to the second line for this contest, but it's not because of a lack of offense. He's earned a point in each of the last three games and is now at one goal, 12 helpers, 26 shots on net, 37 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 17 playoff contests. He's earned five of his assists on the power play, with all of those contributions with the man advantage coming since the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Rodrigues helped out on a Brad Marchand go-ahead goal in the first period. With a goal and eight assists over his last seven outings, Rodrigues continues to play a key playmaking role for the Panthers. He's at one goal, 11 helpers, 26 shots on net, 31 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 16 playoff outings. He began the postseason in the bottom six but has since taken on a top-line role.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Gets first goal of playoffs

  Rotowire May 28, 2025

  Rodrigues scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 5. Rodrigues' tally in the second period tied the game at 2-2. It was his first goal this postseason, as he's often had to settle for setting up teammates rather than finding the twine himself. The 31-year-old forward is up to 11 points, 24 shots on net, 29 hits, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating across 15 playoff appearances. He should continue to be a factor on offense as long as he remains in a top-six role heading into the Stanley Cup Finals.

  Rotowire May 25, 2025

  Rodrigues notched two assists, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 3. Rodrigues continues to serve in a top-six role and on the power play. While he remains without a goal this postseason, he has seven helpers over his last four games and a total of nine assists, 19 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-2 rating over 13 appearances in these playoffs. The Panthers have won four straight games since he returned after missing two contests due to an undisclosed injury, so Rodrigues is playing his role nearly to perfection at this stage of the postseason.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Status uncertain

  Rotowire May 12, 2025

  Rodrigues' (undisclosed) availability against Toronto in Game 5 on Wednesday remains in doubt after head coach Paul Maurice told reporters, "He's not ruled out, but not cleared to play. He's still being looked at," per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site. Rodrigues was injured in Sunday's Game 4, in which he registered two shots on goal and two hits in 12:32 of ice time. The veteran forward has seen himself elevated to a first-line role while also logging minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit. If Rodrigues can't play Wednesday, Brad Marchand could be shifted into a top-six role.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Set to be evaluated Monday

  Rotowire May 11, 2025

  Rodrigues will be evaluated for an undisclosed injury Monday after departing Sunday's 2-0 win over Toronto in the third period of Game 4, per Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post. Rodrigues was injured after being interfered with by Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who received a minor penalty on the play. Head coach Paul Maurice did not provide a substantial update on Rodrigues' health aside from relaying that the 31-year-old forward will need to be evaluated Monday. Game 5 is in Toronto on Wednesday, so Rodrigues will have an extra day of recovery. If he is unable to suit up for that matchup, Mackie Samoskevich is a strong candidate to draw into the lineup after being a healthy scratch in five of the last six games.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Gathers helper in loss

  Rotowire Apr 27, 2025

  Rodrigues posted an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning in Game 3. Rodrigues helped the Panthers get a positive start, assisting on a Matthew Tkachuk goal just 2:43 into the game. That was all for their offense in this contest. Rodrigues snapped a three-game point drought with the helper. He has added five shots on net, seven hits and an even plus-minus rating across three playoff outings while filling a middle-six role.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: First goal in 18 games

  Rotowire Apr 11, 2025

  Rodrigues scored a power-play goal in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday. Rodrigues took a pass in the left circle and drove the net to stuff it past Cam Talbot. It was his first goal in 18 games (two assists). Rodrigues has 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) in 79 games this season. It's his fourth consecutive season that he's hit that mark. Rodrigues is a third-line winger who chips in occasionally and sees time on PP2, but there's more value in his on-ice game than his fantasy game.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Puts up helper Saturday

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2025

  Rodrigues logged an assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals. Rodrigues ended an eight-game point drought with a helper on a Seth Jones tally in the first period. The 31-year-old Rodrigues has mostly played in a middle-six role lately, but it hasn't helped him produce steady offense. He's at 28 points, 142 shots on net, 109 hits, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 70 appearances, putting him on pace for his lowest-scoring season in four years.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Eight shots on goal in win

  Rotowire Feb 28, 2025

  Rodrigues was held without a point but recorded eight shots on goal in 13:33 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers. As was evidenced during last year's Stanley Cup Final that saw him post four goals and seven points in the seven-game series, Rodrigues can be a streaky player. That's been the case this year, and he's currently on the downturn, as he's recorded one point over his last six games. However, despite seeing his fewest minutes in his last 11 appearances Thursday, the 31-year-old blew past his previous season high with eight shots on goal, perhaps signaling one of his hot streaks could be on the way. Considering his role as a top-six forward, Rodrigues is definitely an option for fantasy managers looking for a high-ceiling add down the stretch.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Nets goal Sunday

  Rotowire Feb 3, 2025

  Rodrigues scored a goal and took two shots on net in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Islanders. Rodrigues lit the lamp late in the second period to tie the game at three apiece. The 31-year-old forward now has 13 goals, 24 points and 99 shots on net across 54 games this season. He has seen an increasing amount of power-play time over the past month on Florida's first unit. With four goals over his last seven games, Rodrigues is a name to keep an eye on in deeper leagues and can continue to benefit from Florida's recent quality of play.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Pots goal Saturday

  Rotowire Feb 2, 2025

  Rodrigues scored a goal on three shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks. Rodrigues has five goals and an assist over his last 11 outings, though his tally Saturday ended a three-game dry spell. The 31-year-old forward continues to handle a middle-six role in a strong offense, giving him some appeal as a depth forward in fantasy. He's at 12 goals, 23 points, 97 shots, 79 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 53 contests this season.

• Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Nets lone goal on power play

  Rotowire Jan 23, 2025

  Rodrigues scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Kings. Rodrigues has four goals and an assist over his last seven outings. He also saw a season-low 9:24 of ice time -- that's likely a byproduct of his current deployment on the fourth line rather than in a more prominent spot in the lineup. The 31-year-old is too talented to be in that role indefinitely. For the season, he's at 22 points (five on the power play) with 91 shots on net, 73 hits and a minus-4 rating through 49 appearances. Rodrigues is best utilized as a middle-six forward, but he'll be tough to trust in fantasy if he's not getting enough playing time.
