The Florida Panthers took one on the chin this week from the New Jersey Devils. After getting dropped by the Devils 4-1 on Tuesday night, Florida came back and found a similar effort on Thursday, falling 6-2 to New Jersey. For the second straight game, it was Devils jumping out to a first period lead on the Cats.

In the first five minutes of the second period, right off a faceoff win for the Panthers, Sam Reinhart’s shot from the dot beat Jake Allen far side to tie the game, 2-2. As they have done multiple times throughout the season, New Jersey responded to their opponents goal with multiple strong shifts.

For the second time in three nights, the New Jersey Devils attempt to beat the Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers on November 14, 2024.

The Panthers rank 16th in total goals against, conceding 3.1 goals per game (50 total) in league play. The team's goal differential is the ninth-best in the league, +8. The Panthers shoot 12% as a team, ranked ninth-best in the league.

Once again, the New Jersey Devils are in Sunrise, Florida to play the Florida Panthers. They did this on Tuesday night. They will do it once more tonight. Talk about the familiar matchup here in this Gamethread.
