After a lost to the Edmonton Oilers, the Florida Panthers are looking for a win in their Monday afternoon game against the San Jose Sharks.
The team went into the game against the Edmonton Oilers with high hopes for a win in attempt to get out of their slump following the All-Star game success. The Panthers did not pull through and suffered a 4-1 loss on Saturday night.
The Florida Panthers currently trail behind the Carolina Hurricanes in league points with 66 points. The Carolina Hurricanes lead by three points. Ranked tenth in the league and with the San Jose Sharks far from the leaderboard, the Florida Panthers are favored to win tomorrow nights’ game.
Right now, the Panthers are working to remain in a place where they will make it to playoffs, and their recent loss to the Edmonton Oilers is not helping. In a pre-game interview, coach Joel Quenneville said more consistency out of the team is needed in order play at the higher standard required of a playoff team. Quenneville was also hoping the absence of one of Edmonton’s key players, Connor McDavid, would help the Florida Panthers pull out a win.
This is the beginning of a five-game away game streak for the Florida Panthers as they travel across the country for the next few weeks. Hopefully the team will experience an away-team advantage and pull out some wins in these next five games.
The next home game at the BB&T Center will be played on Thursday, February 27 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Find tickets and more information here.
