The Florida Panthers are a difficult team to beat. Even without Matthew Tkachuk, new acquisition Brad Marchand, and Aaron Ekblad, the Panthers won 3-2 on Thursday in Toronto. They also showed why they'll be a tough out once the playoffs roll around.

Sam Bennett scored power-play goals late in each of the first two periods, Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves and the short-handed Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Thursday night for their seventh victory in eight games.

Cutting into the deficit for the Maple Leafs in the third period, Max Domi, shortly after a power play had expired for Toronto, sniped a shot from the slot to make it 3-2 at 4:26. From there, Sergei Bobrovsky shut the door.

The Cowboys know Miles Sanders well after he spent four years with the Eagles and two with Carolina. Now he'll join an evolving RB room in Dallas.

The Carolina Panthers made a much-needed addition to their backfield on Wednesday. As first reported by Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, the team has come to terms on a one-year deal with former Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle.
