For the past few seasons, the Florida Panthers have struggled to find a steady third line. While it’s important for every team to have a really great top-six tandem, it’s equally important to ensure that they have productive players on the third line.
Not only can third line players produce on any given night, but they can also pick up some of the slack if some of the players in the top-six struggle. If the Panthers want to make a deep run in the playoffs, they’ll need to establish the best third line possible.
Last season, we saw how the Cats really lacked depth in the bottom-six.
