The Florida Panthers, with a strong season record of 44-26-3, are on the brink of securing a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs, needing just four more points in their remaining nine games. The current standings show them significantly ahead of their closest competitors, the Montreal Canadiens and Columbus Blue Jackets, who could max out at 95 points. With a tiebreaker advantage due to regulation wins, the Panthers' playoff berth appears inevitable, relying on either wins or not allowing rivals to gain more points as the season winds down.
The Florida Panthers clinching a spot in the Stanley Cup playoff and having the chance to defend their championship is all but a formality.
For Florida to clinch a playoff spot, it just needs to match the maximum amount of points that the teams vying for that final playoff spot can receive.
The Panthers getting to 95 points - four more points over a nine-game stretch - guarantees their place in the playoffs.
Those four points can come in any combination: two wins, four overtime losses, or one win with two shootout losses.
