It's a good news/bad news situation for the Florida Panthers. The Panthers, who return home to face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, are on a roll with six wins in their past seven games. The Panthers also have both of their star defensemen - Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour - back from offseason shoulder surgeries. After they combined for 111 points last season, Ekblad and Montour made their 2023-24 debuts on Friday in a 2-1 road win against the Anaheim Ducks. Unfortunately for the Panthers, center/team captain Aleksander Barkov went down with a knee injury just 57 seconds into the third period. He did not return, and his status going forward is unclear. We still think the Panthers do well here especially with the injury news, as we think teams rally together after key players are out. Let's roll with the Panthers.
