Alexei Kovalev scored his first goal Thursday since the Florida Panthers' season opener.
While Kovalev has lagged, so has seemingly the entire Panthers' offense. While the return of top center Stephen Weiss (groin) will likely help the Panthers and Kovalev, we expect a lot of stops and starts in Kovalev's return to the NHL. Owners who took a chance on the aging winger will want to keep that in mind this season.
