Florida Panthers are having a delightful season and look like real contenders to revalidate their Stanley Cup championship. With that objective in mind, their upcoming challenge will be facing Columbus Blue Jackets next Thursday night in a must-win game to keep them battling against Toronto Maple Leafs for the top spot of the Atlantic Division.
In this matter, it must be noted that Florida Panthers hold a streak of 4 victories in a row and they’ll be truly motivated after winning the Battle of Florida against Tampa Bay last Monday. However, that game was definitely one of the less productive for them as only 3 players shot 3 or more times on target. Despite this, it must be remarked that players like Sam Reinhart, Janis Balinskis and Evan Rodrigues were very participative with shots and goals during their most recent games.
Meanwhile, Columbus Blue Jackets have managed to remain in the playoffs’ spots after turning into one of the best offensive lines in the Eastern Conference with 207 goals scored throughout the season. Even though, they recently lost a streak of 4 consecutive victories after their most recent loss against Tampa Bay Lightning (6-2), a result that put them on high risk of losing their playoffs’ spot.
