The Florida Panthers made their pops proud on Monday.

Pressing the attack from the moment the puck dropped, the Panthers filled up the back of the net in an 8-3 win over the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena.

Ending the “Dads Trip” on a very high note, the night couldn’t have gone better.

"I think we should keep bringing them on every road trip,” forward Sam Bennett said.

8: Goals for the Panthers. Scoring eight goals exactly one week after they cruised to an 8-5 win over the Vancouver Canucks, the Panthers are the third team in the NHL to score eight goals twice in a game so far this season, joining the Colorado Avalanche and Buffalo Sabres.

11: Seconds for A.J. Greer to break the ice in Nashville. Netting the fastest opening goal in the NHL this season, the hard-nosed forward also matched Tom Fitzgerald (Oct. 25, 1997) for the third-fastest opening goal in Panthers history, just one second behind the record.

6: Goals for Greer this season. With a pair of goals against the Predators, the nine-year NHL veteran has officially matched his career-high, single-season goal total. In the midst of a breakout campaign, Greer needed just 22 games to match his previous career-high.

Owning a .913 save percentage this season, the Panthers have started to provide ample goal support for Tarasov, producing 14 total goals over his last two starts. In the win over the Predators, he made five high-danger saves, according to NaturalStatTrick.com.
