The Florida Panthers have been facing a scoring slump, as highlighted by their recent 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues and a goalless first period against Vegas despite a significant shots on goal advantage. Against the Blues, the Panthers led in shots on goal (8-5) and expected goals (3.24 to 1.34) but trailed in actual goals (3-1) after two periods. A potential goal by Ryan Lomberg 2:30 into the third period was disallowed upon review. The Panthers have a record of 1-4-0 in their past five games, scoring no more than one goal in each of the four losses. Coach Paul Maurice expressed the team's frustration, stating, 'Pucks aren’t going in for us right now.' In their following game against Vegas, the Panthers dominated the first period with a 20-3 edge in shots on goal, yet failed to score.

The #FlaPanthers have lost 4 of their last 5 and have scored no more than 1 goal in each of those four losses. "Pucks aren’t going in for us right now," Paul Maurice said. Florida's erratic, feast-or-famine offense has been this way for a while now. https://t.co/hhEri3QiWo

Three giveaways lead to three goals the other way and the #FlaPanthers offense can't capitalize on chances outside of a wacky goal. The result: A 4-1 loss to the Blues. https://t.co/rCwPeUMaFR
