With two goals, Anton Lundell had his biggest offensive game of the season Wednesday night in Pittsburgh as Florida’s new third line continued to contribute offensively. The Panthers certainly would like to see more of that Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres.
Lundell, 22, got his first multi-goal game since last March on Wednesday when he got two in a 5-2 win over the Penguins.
Florida coach Paul Maurice has shuffled his lines numerous times in an effort to get Lundell going offensively.
With Eetu Luostarinen and Evan Rodrigues, perhaps they have found something that works.
It certainly has looked pretty good.
Over the past couple of games, Luostarinen has two goals and three points; Rodrigues has three assists.
“It is always good to get the win, and it is always nice to get two goals even if we needed some luck,” Lundell said on Wednesday.
The Panthers have won three straight games and ride a nine-game winning streak into Buffalo tonight.
Florida is not expected to make any lineup changes tonight, meaning Steven Lorentz, Josh Mahura, and Will Lockwood will remain healthy scratches.
The starting goalies tonight should be Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen against Anthony Stolarz.
