Florida panthers are on fire – and the same thing can be said for the Defenseman Nate Schmidt.

Florida, Stanley Cup Champion, has left for the start of a dream for the playoffs, winning both their road games against Tampa Bay Lightning.

Game 3 is set in Sunrise, FLA on Saturday afternoon.

In July, she turned 34, who has not scored double-fiber in any of her 12 NHL season. In fact, he had only five goals in 80 matches this season, although he won 6–2 of the panthers in Game 1 and another in the 2–0 win in game 2.

“He got a great shot,” Panthers Defenseman Seth Jones said about the shrimt. “He needs to keep shooting. He is now getting aggressive, and it’s great to see.”

Schmidt was waived by Vinnipag Jets on 30 June, who bought the final year of his contract.

Three days later, the panthers signed the deal of one year, $ 800,000.

This week, the Schmid became the second defenseman to score a goal in the first two matches of the playoffs in the modern era of NHL (since 1943–44). Detroit’s nickel is Lidstrom (2007), A Hall of Famer, other defensemen to fulfill the achievement.

However, everything is not going on the way to Florida as Captain Alexander Barkov maintained an unknown injury through Thursday’s third period.

Berkov, who was away from Pak, took a hit from Tampa Bay’s Brandon Hagel, which was assessed a major punishment after a video review.

Panthers have not provided an injury update on Barkov, which is considered one of the best two-way in the league.

“That everything means,” Panthers Anton Lundel said about Barkov. “He is taking us throughout the season.”

Meanwhile, electricity suddenly got stuck in mud.

He reached the Stanley Cup final in 2022, but has not won the playoff series since then. In fact, Tampa Bay has lost seven of her last eight playoff games.

In addition, Thursday’s defeat was Tampa Bay’s first shutout necklace in the playoffs since 2018.

“We have received more cook for the net,” Jake Guestzel said. “We got to wreak some havoc, perhaps break them.

Actually, Bobarovski has surpassed Lightning goalkeeper Andre Wasilavsky in this series.

Nevertheless, Wasilavski-five-bars all-stars, twice the Stanley Cup champion and the winner-Guruwar of both Vejina and Con Smith Trophy were much better, which allowed just the target of the shimit. The second goal was made in a vacant mesh.

If Wasilavski is on the back track, it would be up to the crime of Tampa Bay, which finished fifth in NHL on Power Play in a regular session. On Thursday, however, Lightning Man went 0 -for -5 with Advantage.

“Our entries were not as good,” said Lightning Forward Breedon Point when asked about the electric game. “(Florida) did a good job in line. We (on Saturday) will do videos (studies) to try to be better.”

Lightning also has to go to Nikita Kucherov, when he was bound in NHL in the first or NHL for the first or the first time in NHL (121). He also scored 37 goals.

Nevertheless, he has not scored in his last 12 playoff games. And, in this series so far, they have only one assistance.
