With just a few games left before the halfway point of the season Adidas Brandon Manning Jersey , the Philadelphia Flyers and the Florida Panthers get set to meet on Saturday night – and neither team is in playoff position.The Panthers, who will host the Flyers, are 15-15-6 with 36 points following a 5-3 home loss on Friday night to a team they are chasing in the Eastern Conference, the Montreal Canadiens.“We didn’t make it that tough on (Montreal),” said Panthers forward Mike Hoffman, who had two assists. “We gave them too many easy goals. Hopefully we can clean it up.”Article continues below ...Panthers coach Bob Boughner was furious at his team after the loss, especially because Florida fell behind 2-0 with less than three minutes played.“Some guys weren’t ready to play when the puck dropped,” Boughner said, not naming names. “It’s great that we came back, 2-2 Adidas Cam Ward Jersey , but we didn’t play a good game. Everybody knows that.“Our fourth goal was a backbreaker. We had two (defensemen) caught behind the net – just unaware, dumb hockey.”Boughner then returned to the theme of those first three, brutal minutes.“I’d like to say it was a bad team start, but it was a couple of individuals (who started poorly),” he said. “That screwed the rest of us.“We didn’t even get a chance to get our third and fourth lines on the ice before it was 2-0. I’d love to say our team wasn’t ready. But a couple of guys weren’t ready, and it cost us.”Meanwhile, the Flyers are 15-16-5, with 35 points, following a 6-5 overtime loss to the host Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.Philadelphia erased a four-goal deficit against the team with the best record in the NHL, earning a hard-fought point.“This proves that our team doesn’t quit Adidas Matt Calvert Jersey ,” Philadelphia’s Ivan Provorov said. “We play to the end.”Added Philadelphia’s Robert Hagg: “As soon as we got the first goal, we said, ‘OK, we can actually do this again.'”The only negative for the Flyers was the fact that 20-year-old center Nolan Patrick left the game with an upper-body injury.Patrick, who has five goals and six assists in this his second NHL season, is questionable for the Panthers game.Florida’s biggest injury issue revolves around second-line center Vincent Trocheck, who was an All-Star in 2017 and combined to score 54 goals the past two years.Trocheck hasn’t played since Nov. 19 due to a fractured right ankle, but he could return to game action in early February, Boughner said. Trocheck could start skating in a week.The Panthers on Saturday are expected to star backup goalie James Reimer, resting Roberto Luongo Adidas Conor Timmins Jersey , who took the loss on Friday.One bright spot for the Panthers on Friday — and perhaps carrying on into Saturday – was the play of a pair of 21-year-olds, Henrik Borgstrom and Denis Malgin, who both scored first-period goals.That secondary scoring is important because the Panthers normally rely on four forwards:Hoffman and Evgenii Dadonov, who share the team lead with 17 goals each; JonathanHuberdeau, who tops Florida in assists (33) and points (42); and captain Aleksander Barkov,who is second with 37 points.Claude Giroux has 13 goals and leads the Flyers in points (44) and assists (31). Sean Couturier leads the team with 14 goals and is third with 28 points. Jakob Voracek has nine goals and is second on the team with 29 points. The Florida Panthers are off to a slow start this season — but not because they have played poorly.Florida will play its home opener on Thursday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets. While many other NHL teams have already played three and four games this season — Columbus, for example, is 2-1-0 — the Panthers are 0-0-1 and have been off since last Saturday.But the Panthers aren’t worried. They finished one point short of the playoffs last season are a trendy pick to make the postseason in 2019.Article continues below ...Even so, the Panthers are already facing adversity as starting goalie Roberto Luongo is out two-to-four weeks due to a right-knee injury. He was hurt in Saturday’s 2-1 shootout loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning.James Reimer is expected to start on Thursday, and Michael Hutchinson was called up from the Panthers’ American Hockey League affiliate Adidas Ian Cole Jersey , the Springfield Thunderbirds.“No one wants to be without their No. 1 goalie, but it could have been worse,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said. “And we have good depth there.”The Blue Jackets are dealing with their own issues as forward Brandon Dubinsky suffered an oblique injury on Sunday and will likely miss at least four weeks.Dubinsky had brought physicality and grit to what had been Columbus’ best line in its first two games, teaming with Josh Anderson and Boone Jenner. In those two games, Dubinsky had one goal and one assist.“(The injury) is a tough break for him and for our team,” Columbus coach John Tortorella said. “That was our best line, and specifically him.”Columbus beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Tuesday in their first game without Dubinsky. The teams were tied 2-2 after two periods before Columbus closed with a flourish. Nick Foligno starred for the Jackets, scoring twice and adding one assist.Former Boston Bruins forward Riley Nash, signed as a free agent this past offseason, has replaced Dubinsky on that Anderson-Jenner line. He was a plus-one in 16 minutes of ice time on Tuesday.Another repercussion of the Dubinsky injury is that Lukas Sedlak — a healthy scratch the first two games — will be more involved as a fourth-line center. He got 6:47 of ice time on Tuesday Adidas Philipp Grubauer Jersey , including 50 seconds on the penalty kill and 1:03 on the power play.Thursday’s lineup, however, is subject to change.“I can’t say what’s going to happen in my mind as we go through a game,” Tortorella said. “I want to keep lines together. But I also need better play from other people.”The Panthers, meanwhile, just want a victory. They played well on Saturday against the Lightning, a team favored to reach the Stanley Cup Finals this season. But Tampa Bay got a short-handed goal in the third period — Florida was using five forwards and no defensemen on its power play and got burned with that alignment — and the Lightning then won the game in the shootout.Winger Mike Hoffman, making his Panthers debut after scoring 104 goals the past four years with the Ottawa Senators, had an unlucky game. He hit the post on an overtime shot that would’ve won the game. Hoffman then hit a post again in his shootout attempt.
