Panthers forward Sam Reinhart speaks to the media after Florida's 3-2 overtime win over the Islanders on Jan. 27. There’s an argument to be made that the Florida Panthers have become a bit of a streaky team of late. They went from an impressive nine-game winning streak to suddenly going four straight without a win. The thoughts of that unpleasant little run were quickly erased by the current four-game winning streak that Florida took into the NHL All-Star break.

So yeah, streaky. Let’s take a look at each of the Panthers last four wins, all coming within a six day span last week. Monday in Nashville, Florida was anxious to snap a four-game winless skin and it showed in a dominant road win.

Two fights in the game’s first seven seconds set the tone for what would be a rough evening for the Yotes.

Both teams are in a similar position to what Florida was dealing with a season ago, entering the season’s second half having to fight for every point in hopes of clawing back into a playoff spot. First came a penalty-filled hodgepodge in Pittsburgh that required a shootout to decide a winner.

Fortunately, this time the game wouldn’t require a skills competition to decide the winner.
