Sceviour completed his major junior ice hockey career by signing a three-year contract with the Texas Stars, Dallas' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, for the 2009–10 AHL season. [11]

Sceviour was called up from the Texas Stars, Dallas' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, to join the Dallas Stars when Rich Peverley was unable to play. He recorded his first career NHL goal in his season debut with Dallas on December 14, 2013, against Ondřej Pavelec of the Winnipeg Jets. [12]

Florida Panthers

After seven seasons within the Stars organization, Sceviour left as a free agent and signed a two-year contract with the Florida Panthers on July 1, 2016. [13] He was named to their opening night roster [14] and scored his first goal with the team a few days later. [15] By the end of October, Sceviour has recorded five goals and was tied for second in the league. [16]

On February 12, 2018, Sceviour signed a three-year, $3.6 million contract extension with the Panthers. At the time of his signing, he had recorded 38 points in 126 games with the team and logged the second most short-handed ice time among all Panthers forwards [17] Upon signing his extension, Sceviour said he chose to remain with the team due to their promising future. [18] He concluded the season with 24 points in 76 games. [1]

The following season, Sceviour's playing time was greatly reduced and he skated in only 56 games for the Panthers. [1] On February 10, 2019, Sceviour was placed on injured reserve by the Panthers who also recalled Jamie McGinn to replace him in the lineup. [19]
