The Panthers bandwagon was filling up quite nicely earlier this month as they set a franchise record with 12 consecutive wins.

Some fell off during the four-game losing streak which followed, of course, but after this weekend, the Panthers may have picked up a few more believers.

That will happen when you become the first team in over 25 years to beat the Stanley Cup finalists in consecutive nights.

The Panthers did so in impressive fashion, too, beating Chicago and Tampa Bay by a combined 9-2 score.

"We know we cane beat any team in the league,'' said Jonathan Huberdeau, who opened the scoring and assisted on Florida's second goal in Saturday's 5-2 thrashing of visiting Tampa Bay.
"We’re a really good team and we can show we’ve had a struggle lately and we came out this weekend and showed the league that we’re a good team against a really good team, too.”
