The Florida Panthers successfully highlighted their depth and strategic acquisitions during their playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. General Manager Bill Zito targeted essential players, acquiring defenseman Seth Jones and forwards Brad Marchand and Nico Sturm. Their seamless integration into the team has been evident as they helped propel the Panthers to a 3-1 series lead. Jones, in particular, has stood out, leading in ice time and contributing offensively, showcasing the efficiency of the team's trade deadline strategy and depth in critical moments.
"It just speaks to what our team's greatest strength is, and that's our depth. They've been incredible since coming here. I'm sure coming into the season is very different and tough, but you would never know with those guys."
"Jones has bounced between Florida's top two defense pairings since his arrival. He is back on the top pair with Gustav Forsling on Wednesday following Aaron Ekblad's two-game suspension for elbowing."
