The first week of the pre-season has come and gone with the Panthers playing in four contests sporting a 2-1-0-1 record.

The pre-season started off with a bang with back to back shut-outs, followed by a 3-2 shootout loss to Atlanta and a 5-2 loss to Tampa.

The player of the week goes to goaltender Vesa Toskala.

Posting back to back shutouts in his first two games, Vesa has a 2-0-1 record this week with a tiny 0.649 GAA, and .947 save percentage.

Runners up for Player of the week were Center Rod Brind'amour and Defenseman Brian Rafalski. Brind'Amour scored twice and has two assists, but has been a force in the faceoff circle winning 61% of his 92 draws. Rafalski has five assists in the four games and has been averaging 24 minutes a night.

The powerplay thus far has been okay, scoring 4 times in 23 attempts, and the PK has been good allowing only 3 goals in 23 attempts.

Panthers games this week include a home and home with Carolina returning to the Office Depot center to face off against the Thrashers.
