The defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers face the Dallas Stars on Friday, Nov. 1, 2024 (11/1/24) in the NHL Global Series at Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland.
Eetu Luostarinen of the Florida Panthers attends the team's practice in Tampere, Finland, on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024, as the Florida Panthers prepare to play two games against the Dallas Stars in the 2024 NHL Global Series. The first time Florida coach Paul Maurice went to Finland, he didn’t know a whole lot about the country’s intense love of hockey.
“I’ve been excited for this,” Panthers captain and Tampere native Aleksander Barkov said, “for a very long time.” The NHL has played 19 previous games in Finland — nine regular season, 10 preseason. It’s a marathon trip for these teams, a nine-hour flight from Dallas for the Stars and a 7 ½ hour flight from Buffalo for the Panthers.Panthers president of hockey operations and general manager Bill Zito once played in Finland, and had a long list of places he wanted to see again this week. He was asked what he hopes the non-Finnish players get from the trip.
Some players have jumped into the sea, an ultimate cold plunge of sorts. Maurice said he will try to consume all the smoked fish that he can find, Zito said he intends to buy all the chocolate he can get. The Panthers got their fill of salmon soup — something Lundell had been bragging about for weeks — and there’s one other delicacy that got enjoyed as well.Added Stars forward Tyler Seguin: ““It scared me to start but tastes pretty good.
