Young Panthers defenders are stepping up

Potential stardom for Mike Matheson, a bounce-back year for Aaron Ekblad and much more structure from the new coaching staff — those are just some of things Panthers TV personalities Randy Moller and Steve Goldstein see when asked to look into their crystal pucks.

There are less than 10 days left before the Panthers start their 24th NHL season, and the players say their excitement level is starting to build.

Prior to the Panthers’ 4-2 exhibition win over the Tampa Bay Lightning at the BB&T Center on Tuesday night, Goldstein, who handles play by play, and Moller, who serves as studio analyst and ice-side commentator, gave their opinions on the team they cover.
