The Florida Panthers’ most reliable source of offensive chances this season has come from their back line.
Veteran defenseman Keith Yandle, in his third season with the Panthers and 13th NHL season overall, has been a steady point producer during the early going of the season.
Just how good has he been? Yandle has not only recorded at least one point — which is earned by either scoring a goal or assisting on one — in all but two of the Panthers’ first 11 games this season, he also ranks in the top 10 in the league among defensemen in a slew of offensive categories.
