SUNRISE, Fla. -- Watch out for the Florida Panthers.
The Panthers (31-25-6) were buried in the Eastern Conference standings on the morning of Jan. 30. They had lost their starting goaltender, Roberto Luongo, and their backup goalie, James Reimer, to injury.
Harri Sateri, a 28-year-old career minor leaguer with zero NHL wins as of then, saved the season, winning four straight games, and the Panthers have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL since.
On Sunday afternoon, the Panthers, who have won 12 of their past 15 games, play host to the Philadelphia Flyers (34-20-11) at the BB&T Center.
