After starting 0-2-2, losing all four contests each by one goal, the Florida Panthers earned their first win of the season on Friday night.
They did it against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals no less, earning a 6-5 shootout victory.
After tonight’s contest, they’ll get three days off before a three-game road trip against the New York Rangers, the New York Islanders, and the New Jersey Devils.
Tonight’s opponent, the Detroit Red Wings, have started their season off 0-5-2, and are likely the worst team in the National Hockey League.
