| |  | FLORIDA: LAST SEASON: 29-45-8, 66 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Gerald Gallant, 1st season with Panthers; 4th overall in NHL, 56-76-4.
ADDED: C Jussi Jokinen, C Dave Bolland, D Willie Mitchell, G Al Montoya, C Derek MacKenzie, LW Shawn Thornton.
LOST: D Tom Gilbert, C Scott Gomez, C Marcel Goc, D Ed Jovanovski, G Tim Thomas, G Scott Clemmensen, G Jacob Markstrom.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Roberto Luongo. For as much as the Panthers are talking about scoring more goals and improving special teams - and rightly so - Florida's hopes hinge upon one of the most popular players in team history. If Luongo is great, the Panthers could be a playoff team. If he struggles, so will Florida.
OUTLOOK: So much has to change quickly for Florida to get in playoff contention, but the Panthers went out and tried during the offseason to revamp just about everything from locker-room mood to on-ice style. Opening with five road games in the season's first seven outings may set the tone. | | SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 7th season with Sharks, 271-130-57; seventh overall in NHL.
ADDED: F John Scott, F Tye McGinn, D Taylor Fedun.
LOST: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, F Marty Havlat.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Thornton. Despite finishing second in the league in assists last season, Thornton was stripped of his captaincy this summer in response to the Sharks' playoff collapse against Los Angeles. San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. That prompted a search for new leaders. Thornton expressed no desire to leave San Jose but how he reacts to the new role and how he plays this season will be key questions going forward.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks began the offseason with general manager Doug Wilson talking of rebuilding and becoming a ''tomorrow'' team after being a Stanley Cup contender for most of the past decade. Wilson has altered his stance a bit and the players still believe this team can compete with the other powers out West. Much of the success will hinge on continued improvement from younger core players like Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl; Brent Burns' move back to defense from forward; and more depth on the bottom two lines to take pressure off Thornton and Patrick Marleau. |

*Panthers-Sharks Preview* =========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Florida (6-5-5) at San Jose (10-9-2), 10:30 p.m. EDT
The San Jose Sharks' offense fell on hard times during a long trip.
They hope opening a homestand Thursday night against the struggling Florida Panthers' defense helps reignite their scoring.
San Jose (10-9-2) completed a 3-4-0 trip with a 4-1 loss Tuesday to last-place Buffalo. The Sharks, who are 2-3-0 at home with the NHL's most road-heavy schedule thus far, are starting a six-game homestand.
They ranked second in the NHL last season with 63 points at home.
"It's hard to really get a good judge because we've been on the road so much, but when you think about how much we've been on the road, it's not too, too bad," forward Patrick Marleau told the team's official website. "It could be a lot better, it could be a lot worse, so if we can string some home wins together and start racking up those points, it will be good."
San Jose claimed a 30-14 advantage in shots against Buffalo, but Brent Burns scored the lone goal on a second-period power play. It marked the club's sixth straight game with two goals or fewer after it had averaged 3.1 during an 8-5-2 start.
Burns' goal is the Sharks' only power-play score on 13 opportunities in the last five games. They were tied for fourth in the NHL with 14 goals on 53 power plays (26.4 percent) in the first 16.
"I think we're figuring out who we are and I don't know if we like it at this point," coach Todd McLellan said. "We've got to improve in a lot of areas. We're going home now for a little while. We'll get some practice time, but individuals have to pick it up."
Those individuals likely include the likes of Logan Couture and Marleau. Couture has one point in his last six games while Marleau has gone five straight without one - his longest drought since a six-game stretch Feb. 26-March 9, 2013. He had a goal overturned Tuesday.
Joe Thornton has been one of San Jose's few productive players lately, scoring four goals with four assists during a seven-game point streak.
The Sharks lost 4-1 at Florida on Nov. 11 as Roberto Luongo stopped 25 shots for the Panthers. Luongo owns a 1.73 goals-against average while winning three of his last four starts versus San Jose, which has lost six of seven in the series.
Florida (6-5-5) has lost four of five away from home, and Tuesday's 5-2 defeat in Los Angeles was the third time in six games in which it allowed at least four goals.
The Panthers, whose last four defeats have all come despite an advantage in shots, were outscored 4-0 in the second period and gave up three goals on six power plays.
"In the first and third periods, I thought we matched them shift for shift and did some really good things," said forward Rocco Grimaldi, who also played for the club's AHL affiliate in San Antonio earlier in the day. "We had some good grind shifts and were playing strong defensively. Obviously, they've got a good power play over there, and they got a few on us that kind of put the dagger in us."
Jussi Jokinen, who leads Florida with 12 points, has a goal and four assists in his last five against San Jose.
