Scouting Report
After collecting five of a possible six points on its first homestand, the Florida Panthers are back on the road tonight, playing a Western Conference foe, the Chicago Blackhawks, for the first time this season. Despite minimal contributions from its first line and power play, last year’s President Trophy-winners are 4-1-1, good for second place in the Atlantic Division. The Blackhawks, who many are expecting to be in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes, dropped their first two games, however, a three-game winning streak has them in the middle of the pack in the Central Division.
