Kevin Stenlund, who won the Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers in 2023, is excited to play against his former team in a game at Delta Center on Wednesday. Stenlund, now playing for the Utah Hockey Club, recently received his championship ring and had dinner with his former Panthers teammates.
The Utah Hockey Club forward was asked about facing off against his former team, the Florida Panthers , on Wednesday at Delta Center.
Utah Hockey Club forward Kevin Stenlund as Utah Hockey Club hosts the Los Angeles Kings, NHL pre-season hockey in Salt Lake City on Monday, Sept. 23, 2024. “He means a lot to us, no doubt about it,” head coach André Tourigny said. “Just his composure in big moments, his desire to make a difference and to play the right way all the time. He wins big face-offs. For all good reasons on and off the ice, he’s really important.”
A stat that stuck out for Tourigny and Utah management when looking to sign Stenlund was that he had more ice time on the penalty kill than Aleksander Barkov last season with the Panthers. Barkov is arguably the best two-way center in the league and a two-time Selke Trophy winner. “He’s a good player, easy to read. Knows what he’s doing out there, winning his battles, winning face-offs, driving the net — all the stuff that matters,” Maccelli said. “If you’re not really scoring as much as usual, a little switch-up is a good thing. It worked.”
