'I know it's not normal,' Lundell said, per The Athletic. 'You try to kind of soak in everything around here. But at the end of the day, it's hockey. That's what I love to do, and that's what we're here to do.'
Lundell scored a goal for his team in their heartbreaking overtime defeat in Game 4 to Edmonton. The Oilers won that contest 5-4, despite Florida having a 3-0 lead in the contest. The Panthers forward finished the contest with two shots on goal.
The Oilers-Panthers series is now tied at 2 games apiece.
The Panthers need that production from Anton Lundell to win the Stanley Cup
Lundell has been brilliant for the Panthers in the playoffs. Florida is looking to win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, and Lundell has helped boost them with his production.

The Panthers forward has 16 points in this year's playoffs. That includes six goals. More importantly, Lundell has a plus-minus of +16 which has helped Florida throughout the postseason.
Lundell is seeing his overall production increase, as he has a career-high 45 points on the season.
'He's matured a lot,' Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling said of Lundell, per NHL.com. 'He was mature when he came, but he's been just growing into playing like a real man and veteran out there. He's been unreal.'
The Panthers forward said it has helped him to listen and learn from the team's older players. Lundell is just 23 years old, after being drafted by Florida in 2020.

'It helps a lot to have veteran guys around, especially guys that have been in the league long and won as well,' Lundell said. 'You learn small things about them, but at the end of the day, everybody just wants us to try to enjoy it and keep going.'
Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final is Saturday night in Edmonton.

Texans vs Panthers live updates, score: Highlights, predictions for preseason Week 2
The Houston Texans, headlined by a slew of new rookies, including Tay Ersery at offensive tackle and Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel at wide receiver, will debut in front of the hometown fans at NRG Stadium in a preseason showdown on Saturday afternoon against the Carolina Panthers. Starters for the Panthers are projected to play for at least one drive in Saturday's contest. Headlined by former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young, Carolina's offense looks to be the backbone of the franchise in Year 3. They made immense strides during Houston's joint practice on Thursday, with Young making several highlight throws. As for who's starting on Houston's side, coach DeMeco Ryans mentioned that the younger starters would see action. That means that rookie Earsery, the projected starting right tackle, Noel, who's fighting for first-team reps in the slot, and Higgins, the newest name on the outside, are expected to see action. As for everyone else? "Everybody's kind of on their own plan," Ryans said last week. "We'll have a handful of guys who won't see time at all. Then we'll have a certain group of guys who are limited. So, it's just a lot of different guys in different categories there." There is still plenty to watch for with Stroud, Will Anderson Jr. and a swarm of other top names on offense. Texans Wire will have you up to date on everything that happens this afternoon at NRG Stadium. Watch Texans vs. Panthers on Fubo (free trial) The Texans and Panthers will air live on NFL Network, but it will also air locally on ABC 13 in Houston. It's been announced that Bryce Young, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick, will start for Carolina and will likely play the entire first half of the game. For the Texans, only partial starters will see action, so fans should expect to see C.J. Stroud, Nick Chubb, Danielle Hunter, Nico Collins or others on the field in Houston at NRG Stadium.
