The Florida Panthers are loading up to make another run at the Stanley Cup. They kicked off NHL trade deadline week by snagging Seth Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks. Then, they made a trade with the San Jose Sharks to make Vitek Vanecek their backup goalie after trading Spencer Knight to Chicago.

Vitek Vanecek made his Panthers debut with a shutout in a 4-0 win against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. The goalie was acquired from the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday for forward Patrick Giles.

Vitek Vanecek stopped all 21 shots he faced in his Florida debut, and the Panthers beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-0
