Whatever energy Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice sensed his team lacked in playing on consecutive nights, was evened out by Anthony Stolarz. The backup goalie stopped 45 shots for his seventh career shutout and first this season and the Panthers became the 11th NHL team to win 10 consecutive road games, beating the Buffalo Sabres 4-0 on Thursday night.
The Florida Panthers are playing so well, they don't need any bounces. Anton Lundell scored twice — including a fluttering shot that floated high in the air over Pittsburgh goaltender Tristan Jarry — and the Panthers extended their franchise-record road winning streak to nine with a 5-2 win over the Penguins on Wednesday. “I have to watch it again,” Lundell said.
The Carolina Panthers have put together the majority of their coaching staff. So, what comes next? Naturally, Panthers fans have questions entering the offseason.
