In his time as coach of the Panthers, Joel Quenneville has never been one to put too much weight on an upcoming game. This two game series with the Carolina Hurricanes is different.

The Panthers and Hurricanes come into this series tied in points atop the NHL’s Central Division. Carolina, however, has played two fewer games than Florida has.

If the Panthers want to win the division, and thereby avoid Carolina and Tampa Bay in the opening round of the playoffs next month, they need to figure out the Hurricanes and quick.
