Panthers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:35:40 PST

The Panthers may have been feeling good about themselves coming into the weekend, but after Friday night, they are searching for answers once more.

Florida's offensive problems resurfaced in Friday's home loss to the Capitals as the Panthers mustered just one goal against a shorthanded Washington team. The Panthers had a five-minute power play late in the third and failed to get off a single shot.

The Panthers had won three straight, but now will play in Washington on Saturday trying to rectify what went wrong on Friday night. On the extended power play, Florida failed to keep the puck in the Washington zone for longer than a few seconds as the Capitals were very good in clearing the puck.

For Florida to get things right, one goal a night isn't going to cut...
