| |  | TAMPA BAY: Since getting off to a flying start in 2011-12, the Steve Yzerman era in Tampa Bay has stalled considerably.
Heading into his fourth season as the club's general manager, the former Detroit Red Wings great is aiming to reverse the trend that has seen the Lightning miss out on the playoffs in each of the past two springs after making it to the Eastern Conference finals in 2010.
The Lightning are an exciting team to watch, but the club's high-powered offensive attack may need to dial it back a little in 2013-14 in order to comply with Cooper's new system. That doesn't mean he'll put a leash on Stamkos or St. Louis, but the rest of the forwards will be asked to chip in more at the back end. The slightest improvement on defense and in goal could be the difference in making the playoffs this season. Then again, treading water will likely mean a third straight season out of the postseason.
| | FLORIDA: SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - When the lockout ended and last season started for the Florida Panthers, there was so much promise.
A banner commemorating the team's division title was unfurled on opening night, the franchise's star-in-waiting scored on his first NHL shot and everything looked bright.
That good feeling disappeared in a hurry. The Panthers went from celebrating to collapsing without warning, and wound up finishing the season having given up more goals than any other team while being tied for last in goal-scoring - and posting the worst record in the NHL.
``It wasn't pleasant,'' Panthers captain Ed Jovanovski said.
One disaster after another - injuries and scoring droughts, mostly - plagued Florida last season, and the Panthers haven't forgotten. When camp opened earlier this month, the Panthers talked of both a need to move ahead but the necessity to remember how painful it was to be out of the playoff chase so early last season.
``I think we all pretty well know that we don't want to have another disaster like last year,'' Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said. ``Guys are professional. They should be able to figure it out and if they don't figure it out, I'll figure it out for them.''
Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said his team cannot ignore the memory of last season's freefall. Not counting goals awarded in shootouts, Florida skaters scored 109 times last year, tied with Nashville for the worst total in the league.
``We had to acknowledge what happened as a group. We had to understand that there was ownership by all of us, from the GM to the coaching to the players and I think we all did that,'' Dineen said. ``I think the commitment was made to be better. There's been some hard decisions made this summer ... but we need to put a team and a style of  that gives us the best chance to win.''
Changes were made, such as letting longtime Florida forward Stephen Weiss leave through free agency, and bringing Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Tim Thomas into the organization as a veteran influence. Thomas and Jacob Markstrom figure to get the bulk of the work in net early. |

*Lightning-Panthers Preview* ============================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Tampa Bay (6-3-0) at Florida (3-7-1), 5:00 p.m. EDT
Following a statement-making victory over the Stanley Cup champs, the Tampa Bay Lightning pulled off a dramatic late comeback to cap a solid stretch at home.
Now they'll try to carry over that momentum on the road Sunday night when they face the struggling Florida Panthers.
After finishing ahead of only Florida in the Eastern Conference last season, the resurgent Lightning (7-3-0) are one of the NHL's biggest surprises this October.
They improved to 2-0 against defending champion Chicago by rallying from a third-period deficit for a 6-5 overtime win Thursday, then came back to beat Buffalo with just over seven minutes remaining Saturday.
Martin St. Louis and Ondrej Palat scored in the final 5:51 for a 3-2 win over the league-worst Sabres as Tampa Bay completed a 5-2 homestand.
"Are we a good team? I don't know," coach Jon Cooper said. "I'd say we're a resilient team. Right now, we're finding ways to win the close ones. And regardless of who they're playing, they're not getting rattled. It's just not happening to this team."
St. Louis, who scored the game-winner against the Blackhawks, has six goals and 13 points over his past nine games. He also has seven goals and 10 assists in his last 10 versus the Panthers (3-7-1).
Teammate Steven Stamkos finished with a hat trick in Tampa Bay's 7-2 rout of visiting Florida on Oct. 10. He leads the Lightning with seven goals and 15 points, and has 13 and 19 in his last 11 games against the Panthers.
Following a two-game stretch in which he allowed nine goals on 60 shots, Ben Bishop got back on track Saturday by stopping 20 of 22 for his seventh victory. Bishop, however, could give way to backup Anders Lindback as the Lightning face back-to-back sets for the first time.
Lindback, 0-2-0 with a 3.80 goals-against average in three appearances, is 4-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA in five career starts against the Panthers.
Whoever gets the nod might not have much of a challenge against a Florida team that has totaled nine goals while dropping five of six. The offensively-challenged Panthers rank near the bottom of the league with 2.0 goals and 27.8 shots per game.
Despite a season-best 45 shots Friday, Florida managed only a first-period goal from Jesse Winchester in a 3-1 loss to the visiting Sabres.
"At the end of the day, we're all about the two points," coach Kevin Dineen said. "On that one, it's not a good night."
Brad Boyes leads the Panthers with four goals - including one in the first meeting with the Lightning - but he hasn't scored in his last six contests.
With Tim Thomas working his way back from a leg injury, Jacob Markstrom is likely to get another start after turning aside 18 of 20 shots versus Buffalo.
Markstrom is hoping for better results after giving up six goals on 24 shots before getting pulled in favor of Scott Clemmensen in Tampa Bay earlier this month.
Markstrom is 2-3-0 with a 3.89 GAA in five career starts versus the Lightning, who have dominated this series with an 8-1-1 record in the last 10 meetings.
