After playing unimpressive .500 hockey to start the season, the Florida Panthers have been on a tear, winning six of their last seven games before yesterday’s game against the Kings. The winning trend has not only put the Panthers back in the playoff picture, but has featured victories against impressive teams such as the Anaheim Ducks (two wins), San Jose Sharks, and Nashville Predators. The one loss, however, was against the Kings, a 6-3 loss on February 9.
Despite the Kings’ dominance ten days ago, the Florida winning trend prevailed.
