Winnipeg is 3-3 the last six games, winning twice as underdogs. There is no quit in this group, as Winnipeg came back from a three-goal deficit in the third period to force overtime in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss at Tampa Bay. They face an injury-plagued Florida Panthers lineup that hasn't produced many goals lately. Florida is on a 2-5 run, tallying 14 non-shootout goals, half of which came in a 7-4 win at Buffalo. Talented young forwards Aleksander Barkov (upper body) and Brandon Pirri (ankle) remain out of action. The offense has scored twice in the last three games while averaging 23.3 shots and is in an 0-for-17 drought on the power play. Winnipeg is 8-3 when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game and the Panthers are 16-39 against the Central division. Play Winnipeg.
