On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to break down the back-to-back against the Washington Capitals on the road and the Penguins at home. The Cats responded to every punch that Washington threw at them in the first 20 minutes, but failed to do so after the Cap scored two goals in 59 seconds to start the second period, and the game blew open from there as Washington would come out with a win and a sweep of the season series. The Panthers then welcomed Sidney Crosby and the Penguins to down on Sunday, where they were slow coming out of the gate, Pittsburgh outshooting Florida 16-4, but then the Panthers turned it on in the second period, falling down as much as 3-1, Sam Reinhart brought it to a one goal deficit in the second on the power play, and the Panthers only gave up 4 shot attempts in the third where they had Pittsburgh on their heels, eventually it broke with Anton Lundell getting his 16th of the season, and the Panthers found a way to win it i

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) to break down the Panthers' 1-0 OT win over the Columbus Blue Jackets to sweep the season series. The two teams played a highly contested matchup where both teams got a few close calls, including a goal that was called back due to Boone Jenner kicking the puck into the net. The Barkov line set the tone with their matchup against the Blue Jackets' third line and after winning a bunch of 50/50 battles and getting the puck to the net, it finally paid off in OT. Prior to that, the Blue Jackets went to the box with 30 seconds left in regulation due to a delay of game - puck over glass penalty. Panthers wasted zero time in and got the overtime winner 28 seconds in and the Panthers got the two points to keep pace in the Atlantic Division. Sergei Bobrovsky now has his second shutout of the season against Columbus, and the Panthers have won eight in a row against them, with five of them being

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) to break down the Panthers' 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto took the lead in the first two minutes, but the Panthers remained in control in a game that put the Panthers well in control of the Atlantic Division lead. Sam Bennett got on the scoresheet twice on the power play, with Mackie Samoskevich getting on assist on both of them. AJ Greer was also a force after winning a puck battle and assisting to Niko Mikkola for the go-ahead goal at the time to make it 2-1.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JacobWinans8) for another edition of Winans Wednesday. The two break down the Panthers' 3-2 loss against the Boston Bruins from TD Garden, where the Panthers never truly took the game over, but showed signs of progress on the power play, converting on the 5-on-3. The Panthers have been the more disciplined team over their six game winning streak, but that wasn't the case on Tuesday night. Although Boston took the lead with less than four minutes left, the Panthers had a chance to send the game to overtime, including a chance in which the referee's might have blown the whistle a bit too early. Florida came up with zero points on the evening, and without Aaron Ekblad and Matthew Tkachuk, now there's a bit of adversity with Toronto just being two points back of the Panthers as the two will meet on Thursday night.

The Panthers put on a forechecking clinic and had Elvis Merzlikins under siege. Although none of the Panthers goals were not at 5-on-5, the even strength play was what set the tone. Mackie Samoskevich lit the lamp again, where he now has four goals in his last seven games, Barkov got three points on the night (1,2), and Sam Reinhart adds another goal on the power play, which now puts him at fifth in Florida Panthers History in goals at 153, passing Pavel Bure.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JacobWinans8) to discuss the extension of forward Jesper Boqvist to a 2-year deal worth $1.5M AAV. It's another depth signing for the Panthers ahead of the deadline on a team friendly deal that is paying dividends for the franchise. There will be tough decisions, and the Panthers can still find a way to add another depth forward to the mix, but could they go the route of trading for a guy with term? Also, if Ekblad and the front office don't agree on a deal, we have some way-too-early summer deals that the Panthers could make if Ekblad does end up walking in free agency? Could the Panthers go the Vegas model as far as being quick to turn the roster over?

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jackson Holzer(@JacksonH_52) to break down the Panthers 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Tampa controlled play in the first period, but was unable to get convert after getting multiple power plays. Panthers had jump to their step in the second period, resulting in two goals, both scored by Aleksander Barkov, one of them being on special teams. The Panthers got a huge kill on a double minor towards the end of the second, and although the Bolts got it to a one-goal game early in the third period, it was a tight defensive matchup that one inch could've made turned the game in a different direction, included a Lightning short handed breakaway chance by Bobrovsky and
