The Florida Panthers are facing a challenging final stretch of the regular season, having recently lost five straight games. Despite their struggles, they are well-positioned for the playoffs, having already secured a spot and the chance to defend their Stanley Cup title. With the opportunity to replicate their previous postseason success, rookie forward Mackie Samoskevich emphasized the importance of readiness and strategy over seeding. The Panthers aim to prepare for any matchup as they look to compete fiercely in the playoffs, regardless of their position in the Atlantic Division standings.
I wouldn't say it matters where we end up. You've got to beat everybody if you're going to win it all. I think it's just not opening up our game, staying tight and working on our forecheck. That's what works in the playoffs.
Anything is possible as the Panthers enter their final five-game stretch of the regular season almost limping to the finish. Florida enters its home game six points out of first place and having lost five consecutive games.
