The Florida Panthers won’t get much rest this week.
Following a road back-to-back against the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, the defending Stanley Cup champions will return to South Florida to host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday and Anaheim Ducks on Saturday.
“It’s an unusual schedule this year,” head coach Paul Maurice said.
Sitting in second place in the Atlantic Division at 25-15-3, the Panthers own a 2-1-1 record over their last four games, including a 4-3 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
Despite only getting one point, the Panthers loved the way they played against Boston.
In defeat, they led 56-18 in scoring chances.
"I think that's the best game we've played in quite some time,” forward Evan Rodrigues said. “You want the result, you want the two points, but that's not one we're going to hang our heads on or sulk about."
Trailing the Toronto Maple Leafs by just three points for first place in the division with a game in hand, the Panthers will have a great opportunity to gain some ground this week.
