Scouting Report
Jonathan Huberdeau says the Florida Panthers cannot afford to take games off even though they clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
On Thursday night, the Panthers (32-14-5, 69 points) visit the Chicago Blackhawks (22-22-5, 49) to open a two-game series. Huberdeau stresses his team still has things it wants to accomplish.
The Panthers are one of three teams in the Central Division to have claimed a postseason spot. The Panthers still have an outside chance to catch the Carolina Hurricanes and take the division title.
After its Chicago series, Florida will play its final three games of the regular season on home ice.
