Panthers islanders game 1

The Florida Panthers held a morning practice in Toronto on Friday, their last time on ice together before the games start counting for real.

Florida and the New York Islanders kick off a best-of-five Stanley Cup qualifier Saturday at 4 p.m. (FSF, NBCSN, 560-AM) and there is a lot riding on Game 1.

The winner of Saturdayโ€™s game not only grabs momentum, but because the first team to three win moves on to the playoffs, has four chances to win two games and keep their season going.

โ€œI think the first game is more important in a best-of-five than it is in a best-of-seven,โ€ Brett Connolly said following the team workout at the Ford Performance Center.
