In their last game against the Detroit Red Wings, the Panthers dominated with a shutout victory of 4-0. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, with a shooting percentage of 11 percent and powerplay opportunities capitalized twice out of five chances. Defensively, they were just as impressive; not only did they block 23 shots but also kept their penalty minutes down to 30.


The previous game saw them in an intense shootout against the Montreal Canadiens where they emerged victorious with a score of 4-3. The Panthers showcased resilience by winning despite being outshot and having fewer faceoff wins. Their powerplay unit managed one goal from five opportunities while also scoring shorthanded once.

Against the Buffalo Sabres, Florida's performance was equally commendable as they secured another win with a scoreline of 3-2. They excelled in faceoffs this time around, winning 61 percent of them and blocking numerous shots while maintaining discipline by limiting penalty minutes to just twelve.


These recent games highlight Florida's ability to adapt and excel in various aspects of play whether it be through special teams or even strength situations. As they head into Hurricanes territory, maintaining this level of play will be crucial for securing another win.
