The Florida Panthers have earned their reputation as one of the NHL’s best teams, getting to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs in each of the past three seasons, making it to the Cup final in each of the past two seasons,

After advancing to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals, it's hard to pinpoint a fatal flaw for the Panthers, but this area is concerning.

Montreal tied the New York Rangers for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference with a game in hand. Sam Reinhart and Seth Jones scored for the Panthers (44-26-3), who had won seven straight home games. Aleksander Barkov had two assists in his 800th NHL game, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves.

After picking up a pair of wins over Pittsburgh and Utah while enjoying some down time in-between, the Panthers will look to complete their second straight perfect homestand when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday afternoon in Sunrise.
