Weegar notched two assists, three hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
Scouting Report
The seventh-round pick in 2013 has gone from being an afterthought to a 20-plus minute defenseman capable of playing in all game situations and on either side of the ice. Good lower-body strength helps him maintain puck possession and win board battles. Has developed as a capable puck mover and smart offensive defenseman. Can be partnered up with just about any style of blueliner.
Long Range Potential: Quality, complementary defenseman.
