Florida at Minnesota

Florida is working on its second coach in Gerard Gallant, has a losing road record and is a long way from home. The Panthers are 1-for-20 on the power play in six December games, #23 in the NHL in goals scored overall, and #29 on the power play. Florida is also 56-123-3 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. They face a talented and hot Minnesota squad ranked #10 in the NHL in goals scored, and tops in goals allowed. The Wild have allowed six goals during their four-game winning streak after knocking off St. Louis 3-1 on Sunday. Goalie Devan Dubnyk has been in a zone, with a 13-6-3 record and a 1.63 goals-against average, allowing eight goals in five December games. And the Wild are 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings, winning four straight at home against Florida. Back Minnesota at home.
