Team Records
Season opener for Florida and New Jersey. Florida finished first in the Atlantic Division last year with 103 points. The Devils tallied 84 points, which placed them a dismal seventh in the Metropolitan Division.
Panthers News and Notes
- It looks like former Tampa Bay forward Jonathan Marchessault will replace the injured Jonathan Huberdeau on the Panthers’ top line. That’s a huge loss for Florida. Center Nick Bjugstad will also miss the game with a broken hand.
- Diminutive center Denis Malgin, who had a surprisingly good camp.
