This loss could be a significant setback for the Panthers, especially considering the momentum they carried from their playoff performance last season. Facing four challenging games at the beginning of the season doesn't bode well for them.
Last season, Ekblad played in 71 games, scored 14 goals and 38 points. His physicality was a cornerstone for the Panthers' defense. Now, the team has to navigate this season with his absence in their lineup.
