Mark Pysyk began his pro career in Buffalo, where after four years in Western New York, he was dealt to the Florida Panthers in 2016.

Pysyk, who established himself as a lockdown Defenseman, had more ample opportunity to show his skills as a Panther, and would occasionally appear as a Right Wing when needed.  The native of Alberta did not score much, but he knew his role, and performed it admirably.

He left Florida via free agency in 2020, joining the Dallas Stars.
