For the Florida Panthers, there are just a few more shopping days left.
The Panthers enter this weekend having won six of seven games, including two in a row on the road, 7-5 over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday and 4-3 against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday.
Those wins have propelled the Panthers into the fringes of playoff contention, especially considering the fact that they have played three games less than the Carolina Hurricanes, the team to beat at the moment for the final postseason berth. Simply put, the Panthers have more chances to win games than some of their key rivals.
