Player to watch for power-play point: Adam Boqvist, FLA (vs. BOS) -- The defenseman signed a one-year contract with the Panthers and is playing on their first power-play unit after the departure of Montour. Boqvist had five points (two goals, three assists) in five preseason games and flashed his goal-scoring potential with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2021-22 with 11 in 52 games, including three on the power play. The Panthers ranked eighth on the power play (23.5 percent) last season, and their first unit features elite forwards Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart.
