In their last game against the Dallas Stars, the Panthers showcased their ability to bounce back, overcoming a deficit to secure a 4-3 victory. Their powerplay unit was particularly effective, converting three out of four opportunities. This special teams success could be crucial in their upcoming game against the Rangers.


The team's physicality was also on full display as they racked up 41 hits while maintaining discipline with only five penalties. The goaltending has been solid as well, with a save percentage standing at 100 percent from 27 shots faced in that game.

Another notable performance came when they hosted Calgary Flames and emerged victorious with a commanding 5-1 scoreline. The Panthers demonstrated an exceptional shooting percentage of 16 percent and dominated faceoffs with a win percentage of 63 percent – factors that contributed significantly to their win.


However, it's not all smooth sailing for Florida; they did suffer a narrow defeat against Philadelphia Flyers where they managed only one goal from thirty shots indicating some struggles on offense during that match-up.
