It’s time to head north of the border.
After falling 6-2 to the Seattle Kraken on Sunday at Climate Pledge Arena, the Florida Panthers will close out their four-game road trip this week with three games in Canada, starting with a key matchup against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.
“I think we want to play the exact way, and we don't want to lose that,” Eetu Luostarinen said after the loss. “Even if it's not our year, we still have to keep doing that and carry it over for next year.”
Owning a 33-30-3 record, the Panthers (69 points) sit 11 points behind the Detroit Red Wings (80 points) for the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Following their visit to Vancouver, the road trip will make its way to Alberta, as the Panthers take on the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames in a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday.

BENNING FITTING IN
Making the jump.
After his first two NHL games, Mike Benning is looking like a pro.
“He looked great all night,” Sam Bennett said following Benning’s debut against the Columbus Blue Jackets. “He looked like he belonged.”
Playing alongside Niko Mikkola on the second defensive pairing, the rookie blueliner has averaged 17:07 time on ice and provided the Panthers with a 58.18 offensive advantage while five-on-five.
Earning his first career point in his debut, Benning picked up the secondary assist on Sam Reinhart’s overtime winner.

REINHART UPDATE
The Panthers will be without their leading scorer on the current road trip.
After scoring the game winning overtime goal in the 2-1 against the Blue Jackets last Thursday, head coach Paul Maurice announced after Saturday’s practice that Reinhart would not be traveling with the team on the upcoming road trip.
"It's more than one thing he's been dealing with," said Maurice.
The 2025 Selke finalist currently leads the team in goals (29), points (61), power play goals (11), and shorthanded goals (3).
