Gameday 48: Florida Panthers at Anaheim Ducks

Graphic design: Francisco Oporta

The Florida Panthers (27-17-3) begin a four-game road trip against Pacific Division foes when they faceoff against the Anaheim Ducks (18-22-6) at Honda Center.

Florida tested John Gibson 44 times on Saturday in Sunrise in the first meeting of the season series and Jesper Boqvist and Anton Lundell each potted their 11th goals of the season against the veteran goaltender in the gritty 3-0. Spencer Knight made 34 saves to post his fifth career shutout and second of 2024-25 campaign. Knight also assisted on Gustav Forsling empty-net goal.

The Ducks return home after a six-game road trip east that saw them post a 1-4-1 record, leaving them circling the drain as far as playoff chances go. Former Panther Frank Vatrano registered a game-high nine shots against the Panthers, but could not solve Knight. Troy Terry leads Anaheim in goals (15), assists (19) and points (34) in 42 games played.
