There's nothing quite like getting to jump in the ocean after a workout.

On Tuesday morning, all of us took part in some group exercises on the beach before heading to the Panthers IceDen for practice. After a few pretty normal days of workouts, it was really fun to switch it up. I can't imagine somebody not wanting to play down here. There's so much to do.

With a few days of practice in the books and a tournament on the horizon, co-hosts Doug Plagens, Jameson Olive and Katie Gaus spend this week's episode of the Territory Talk podcast discussing what's stood out to them so far at development camp.

Plus, hear from Panthers prospects Anton Lundell, Spencer Knight, John Ludvig, Justin Sourdif and Braden Haché. Also, closing out the show as usual, the crew has some brand-new takes on food.

Highlights of the episode include:

• The Panthers have been pushing the pace at development camp. (2:15)

• Anton Lundell is getting acclimated to South Florida on and off the ice. (9:00)

• Despite a strong NHL debut, Spencer Knight isn't getting ahead of himself. (11:10)

• Grigori Denisenko has brought a noticeable edge to the ice at camp. (22:00)

• It's been a surreal couple of months for Braden Haché. (26:30)

• John Ludvig loves to bring the pain and pick up points. (31:15)

• Justin Sourdif has his sights set on the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship. (35:40)

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - Spencer Knight hasn't been making it easy on shooters at development camp.

"Honestly, he's been a brick wall," defenseman Max Gildon said of Knight following Monday's on-ice session at the Panthers IceDen. "He's super athletic, mobile in the net and, as far as I know of goalies, he's very good fundamentally. It's a great challenge shooting the puck on a goalie of that caliber."

As much as he challenges shooters, Knight might actually be challenging himself even more.

We definitely had a lot more battling on Sunday.

After getting into a steady flow on Saturday, we had a lot more 1-on-1 drills this morning. I think that's really good. At this point, I think everyone out there is just trying to get used to getting hit again. That doesn't really happen in summer skates, and it's not something you can simulate.
