Evan Cormier, who earned 17 wins in net for the Ghost Pirates this year, was called up to be the third-string goalie for the Panthers through the playoffs -- and he’s making the most of his opportunity.

▪ The face of the Panthers is Matthew Tkachuk (pronounced ‘kuh-chuck,’ the T is silent). Florida has made it to the Stanley Cup Final each of the three years he has been with the team. A spot on the USA’s Olympic roster next winter. Other top players are Aleksander Barkov, goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and newly acquired Brad Marchand.
