A combination of injuries, playoff fatigue, and lackluster performances in low-stakes games contributed to their woes. Their expected goals percentage plummeted from nearly 59% to just over 50%, revealing diminished control over play even when healthy. The absence of star defenseman Aleksander Barkov—who anchors the defense by neutralizing opponents’ best players—exacerbated the issue, while goaltending also failed to meet expectations. With Barkov back and hopes for improved netminding, the pair must drastically elevate their game—especially in puck movement, zone defense, and halting fast breaks—if the Panthers are to reclaim their status as a top defensive force.
