A Team Desperate to Climb: In the current post-reason era of the Florida Panthers organization, they’ve been carried by a few players who have been at an elite level. Aleksander Barkov, who is a top-tier two-way center, has 59 points in as many games. He is not only elite at even strength play, but has five shorthanded goals this season while only being on the ice for seven power play goals against in 114 minutes in that capacity.
