Yeah, even the captain totally recognized Reinhart’s efforts at one point! That’s why Maurice trusts his players. For sure, you’ll notice Barkov missing on the ice, but it’s a good time to focus on the future and hope the Panthers are really going for that three-peat. To make that happen, they definitely need someone to guide the Cats to that glory. But hey, there’s another player stepping in to help the Panthers during this tough time. Stepping up right after Aleksander Barkov’s situation Recently, Jameson Olive reported, “Gadjovich back at practice.” It’s such a relief considering everything happening with the Florida Panthers right now. Jonah Gadjovich was out for a few days with a little lower-body injury, but it looks like he’ll be back in the lineup soon. Even though he’s not exactly stepping in for Aleksander Barkov or Matthew Tkachuk, having Gadjovich back definitely helps strengthen the team’s identity. Remember when, in Game 3 of the 2025 Stanley Cup, the 6-foot-3 hockey star totally caught everyone off guard for a surprising reason? The Panthers were leading 5-1, and the Oilers thought it would be a good idea to kick off a line brawl, which ended up sparking five different fights! You know, the best part had to be the face-off between Gadjovich and Darnell Nurse from Edmonton. That was something else! After the fight, the Panthers’ star said, “It’s a physical sport. We stuck together as a team, and we’ve all got each other’s backs. I got tied up with Nurse. We were stuck together for a couple minutes there. It (the fight) felt pretty long. We love playing at home. It’s fun to feed off the crowd because they’re so loud and so supportive of us.” With Gadjovich back in practice, we’ll just have to wait and see if he’s ready for the opening match against the Chicago Blackhawks. Right now, any new addition would be a huge boost for the team.
