Florida Panthers accept underdog role against favoured Vegas Golden Knights
Few expected the Florida Panthers to be playing for the Stanley Cup. Not with two weeks left in the regular season and certainly not when they trailed the NHL-best Boston Bruins 3-1 in the first round.
The Golden Knights have won a lot of hockey games in recent years. And Verhaeghe is right: Vegas is favoured to win the series on FanDuel Sportsbook, probably because the top seed in the West has done everything to deserve that status. Building a championship team often revolves around acquiring a franchise goaltender who can stop the puck when it matters most. The Golden Knights got to the final five years ago with Marc-Andre Fleury, but their story in net since then has been anything but conventional.
“He’s always been doing his thing,” Panthers defenceman Josh Mahura said. “We see the work he puts in every day. We have the utmost confidence in him every time he steps in the net. He’s been unbelievable and obviously a big part of the reason why we’re here.”
