Florida at Columbus

Florida is battling Columbus in the standings as the Panthers are two points behind the Blue Jackets in the Eastern Conference. Florida played Monday night, but the Panthers still could have Sergei Bobrovsky in goal tonight as he has a 2.54 goals-against average in two starts versus his former team. Florida has won seven of its last eight games, including 5-3 over Toronto last night when Mark Pysyk recorded his first career hat trick and Mike Hoffman added a goal and an assist and the Panthers scored four times in the third period. The Panthers have won five straight when playing on no rest and they have won five of their last six road games. They are also 6-2 in their last eight after scoring at least five goals their previous game. Play the Panthers.
