NBA legend Udonis Haslem rocks Florida Panthers jersey

Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem was seen in an Anthony Duclair Florida Panthers jersey before the game against the Chicago Bulls. The 42-year-old player made his sixth appearance of the season.

NBA legend Haslem is in the final stages of his career and is having a rough season, with a single start to his name. While playing 7.8 minutes, he has earned only 0.5 points per game so far.

It has also been a forgetful season for Anthony Ducliair. He has been out of action for most of the campaign and has played only eight games so far. His contributions have been minimal, with only a single goal and two assists to his credit. But Ducliair can change it all with better performances in the upcoming games. His role could be crucial for Florida as they fight for the playoffs.

Will the Florida Panthers make it to the playoffs?

Florida Panthers v Tampa Bay Lightning

The Florida Panthers are fourth in the Atlantic division with 77 points and are currently in a Wild Card spot for the playoffs. The Panthers have scored 240 goals this season with contributions from Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe. Their offense has been doing great lately, with 21 goals in their last five games.

In contrast, their defense has conceded over 3.4 goals per game and their goaltenders have not performed their roles well enough. They have been poor in front of the net and have leaked goals even in their recent wins.

The Panthers will have to play consistent hockey if they are to make the playoffs and make an impact thereon. They have a lead of five points over the Buffalo Sabres and will look to increase that in their upcoming games.

The Panthers are on a winning run but are vulnerable against better teams, which makes them unpredictable.

Time will only tell if the Panthers will qualify for the playoffs, but we can expect them to give their all in the upcoming challenges. Next up is a game against the Detroit Red Wings on March 20, 2023.
