Recent Performance Trends


The Panthers have shown commendable performance in their recent games, showcasing a blend of aggressive offense and resilient defense. In their last encounter against the Carolina Hurricanes at Amerant Bank Arena, they secured a victory with a scoreline that highlighted their offensive prowess and defensive solidity. The team's ability to capitalize on even-strength situations was evident as they netted five goals while maintaining a strong presence in goal-tending, which played a crucial role in their win.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Panthers in their pre-season outings. A previous game saw them struggling against the Hurricanes away from home where they faced challenges penetrating Carolina's defense and managing puck possession effectively. Despite these hurdles, Florida's resilience and determination were clear as they managed to put two goals past the opposition.
