Tonight, the Florida Panthers are after their fourth win in the first five games. If they do that, Panther fans might just weep righteous tears of joy. The Panthers are already off to their best start to a season since 2011-2012, but winning four out of five would put this squad in company with the illustrious 1995-1996 Panthers.
The Panthers are coming off a win against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, but the team didn’t look very convincing. Jaromir Jagr had two goals, but even he said, “we’ll need to be better Saturday to beat Dallas.” And that’s true, the Panthers have another gear and they know it.
