NHL Midseason Shockers: Which Teams Are Soaring and Which Are Stumbling as Playoffs Loom?
Florida Panthers: B
No Aleksander Barkov and no Matthew Tkachuk could have been a lot uglier than this. The Panthers struggled mightily to start the year (7-7-1) but have been better as of late, and their 93-point pace is going to put them right in wild-card territory, which is all they need to accomplish to do damage in the postseason. They’ve played more hockey than anyone in the league the past few years, so we’re not going to fret that they aren’t in more solid playoff positioning than this at the half, especially with all the injury absences. — James Mirtle
