Fresh off a rather lackluster performance at Winter Classic, the Florida Panthers (21-16-3) return to Amerant Bank Arena to play host to the juggernaut that is the Colorado Avalanche (31-2-7) this evening.
The Panthers were the better team on the stat sheet, but the scoreboard told a completely different story as the New York Rangers rolled to a 5-1 victory in front of a sold-out crowd at LoanDepot Park on Friday. Sam Reinhart scored the Panthers only goal, on the power play, with the ass...

After almost two decades, a Lightning blueliner matched that feat as Darren Raddysh scored three times against the San Jose Sharks in Tampa Bay’s 7-3 win.
It was Raddysh’s first career NHL hat trick and, coincidently enough, it happe...
