Scouting Report:
Not only are the Panthers surging at the right time, they have more than $9 million in space under the NHL salary cap to work with, according to capfriendly.com.
"The goal is to be buying," president of hockey operations Dale Tallon told NHL.com in a phone interview Saturday. "I like where we're at, but I'd like to add some offense to get our power play going."
The Panthers entered their game Saturday at the Los Angeles Kings with a success rate of 15.2 percent on the power play, 28th in the NHL.
