Florida Panthers off to 2nd-best start in franchise history
Read full article: Florida Panthers off to 2nd-best start in franchise historyFlorida’s 6-1-2 start through nine games is the second-best in franchise history, topped only by the 6-0-3 record to open the 1996-97 season. “We've been consistent in most games," Florida coach Joel Quenneville said.

There’s obviously a long way to go, but the Panthers finally have the start they wanted.
