Florida Panthers Power Play: A Dominant Force after Slow Start

After beginning the season 1-for-28 on the power play through five games, the Florida Panthers have converted at a 38.2 percent rate over their last eight contests. The surge was highlighted during Friday night's 5-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, where Florida went 2-for-5 with the man advantage. Sam Reinhart and Seth Jones each scored quick power-play goals in the win, improving the team's season success rate to 24.2 percent.

Head coach Paul Maurice praised assistant coach Jamie Kompon and defenseman Seth Jones for revamping the unit after losing Sasha Barkov and Brad Marchand to injuries. Reinhart now has six power-play goals, tying Leon Draisaitl for the league lead, while Jones set a franchise defenseman record with 18 points in October. Florida next faces the Detroit Red Wings on Monday.
