Jussi Jokinen is another veteran that the Panthers rely on.

Jokinen is a part of the Panthers very productive second line. He’s one of their secondary scorers, another Panther with over 60 points.

After only 8 goals in his first year with Florida, Jokinen had a very nice season upping his goal total to 18.

While many talk about Aleksander Barkov, Vincent Trocheck and Jonathan Heberdeau, Jokinen is a guy who I can see being a factor in this series. He scored against the Islanders in their first matchup in November and is a player to watch for sure in this series.
