Command Analysis

Florida Panthers

Current form
Florida's recession has already dragged on quite a bit and led to a huge number of lost points. After a poor performance at home and a loss to Montreal, the team went on the road, where they continued to lose to both rivals of their level and obvious outsiders. It was possible to catch on to one point only in the return meeting with the Canadiens, losing offensively in overtime (2:3). Next, the team went to visit Toronto, where they could not realize their attacking potential to the fullest, having been defeated by a one-goal difference (2:3).
It seemed that the Panthers would be able to break the streak of failures in the duel with Ottawa, but this time they failed to score a single goal, losing dry (0:3). Performance problems also arose in the match with Detroit, losing with a score of 1:2. However, so far the large number of defeats has not affected the club's position in the Eastern Conference table in any way. He continues to remain on the fifth line, however, the advantage over the nearest competitor has been reduced to two points.
