It was always going to happen at some point this season. While the first two match-ups during the regular season had their tense moments and questionable hits, things hadn’t boiled over like they did in the pre-season. That wasn’t the case in Saturday’s penalty-filled 4-2 win for the Tampa Bay Lightning over their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers.
Two goals, including an empty-netter, from Nikita Kucherov proved to be the difference, but it was the Lightning penalty killers that won ...

The Florida Panthers are going to be buyers, as per usual, ahead of the trade deadline in March, and there's plenty of insiders who feel most of their leg work will be done before the Olympic break. This means the Panthers could be pulling off a huge trade in January, and they could be once again, involved with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Panthers have been linked to Blackhawks defenceman Connor Murphy, who is a pending unrestricted free-agent and someone who will be dangled ahead of the deadl...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Unless it isn’t. The first half of the season is filled with checkpoints for NHL teams. There’s the curse of November 1st, when you’d better be within four points of the playoffs. By U.S. Thanksgiving, you’d better be in there, somewhere, or else you've really got your work cut out for you. But by the holiday freeze? At this point, for most teams, you are what you are.

The Florida Panthers fought back in the second period before giving up the last four goals of the game in a 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues that brought its season-high four-game winning streak to an end.
St. Louis opened the scoring midway through the opening frame when rookie Otto Stenberg sent the puck back to Cam Fowler following an offensive zone faceoff. The veteran defenseman moved to the middle and let a shot go that Jake Neighbours tipped by a helpless Daniil Tarasov. It was Sten...
