Sharknado VI: Vanecek, Sturm Impress in Florida Panthers DebutIt has been three months since Vitek Vanecek won a game in the NHL. Yet, the Florida Panthers had so much confidence in him that, the same day they traded for him, he was already filled in as Saturday’s starter against the Sabres.
Following the important victory of the Florida Panthers over the Buffalo Sabres, HC Paul Maurice made it clear that nothing is easy in this NHL season.
Joining hometown club
Vanecek becomes the third goaltender in Panthers history to log a shutout in his franchise debut. The others: Chris Driedger against the Nashville Predators on Nov. 30, 2019, and Jose Theodore against the New York Islanders on Oct. 8, 2011.
In yet another move ahead of Friday's deadline, the reigning Cup champs have acquired goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen from the Winnipeg Jets for goaltender Chris Driedger, Frank Seravalli of DailyFaceoff reported Thursday.
The Winnipeg Jets have acquired goaltender Chris Driedger from the Florida Panthers in exchange for goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen. The move is a one-for-one goaltender swap that is a depth move for both teams.
