The Florida Panthers (5-4-1) make their yearly trip to the Tank to face the San Jose Sharks (3-8-1), coming off a surprising 3-1 loss to the Arizona Sun Devils Arizona Coyotes. Florida has had an odd start to the season, with wins over the New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres, but dropping games to the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers. While the Panthers are still trying to figure out the team’s identity with new addition, Mathew Tkachuk, they have not had a signature win against a top team, such as the Tampa Bay Lightning or Boston Bruins, leaving this team in flux and trying to reload after going all in last season.
