Defensemen
Brian Campbell		In a week where the Panthers allowed 12 goals, Soup was able to manage a neutral plus-minus, while scoring an assist. He's also on pace to break his career high of 52 points.
Keaton Ellerby		Ellerby went minus-one this week, but saw his ice time increase in every game.
Jason Garrison		Garrison is tied for the Panthers team record in power play goals by a defenseman. He scored zero points and went minus-two this week while playing 23 minutes each game.
Erik Gudbranson		Gudbranson was a healthy scratch against Ottawa after going minus-four against the Jets.
