SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – Things may slowly be turning around for the Florida Panthers.
Sure, they return home tonight having won just one of three on a brief road trip, but there were some very positive signs to take away from that week away from home.
Florida left for that trip as the league’s worst defensive team, giving up almost four goals per game on an average of 36.3 shots.
While the Panthers went 1-2-0 on the trip, they gave up just six goals. Total.
In the final two games, a 4-1 win in Buffalo and a 2-1 loss to the Devils, Florida allowed just 25 and 21 shots.
