There were plenty of questions and doubts surrounding the Florida Panthers coming into Game 1 of the playoffs after ending their season with a rough couple of weeks.

Don’t let Buffalo’s placement in the league standings fool you, they’ve been a hot team coming into their match with Florida with a record of 8-2-0.

3 Takeaways from the Florida Panthers & Ottawa Senators Game 02/08/2025

The Tkachuk Bowl was as advertised in the second of three meetings of Florida and Ottawa. The first time around, in the second game of the season, Ottawa took the win, and Barkov got injured, so it was a wash of a game on the Panther’s side. However, Florida got their revenge this time and […]
