The Florida Panthers, in the midst of an eight-game stretch that includes seven on the road, will make a brief pit stop at home on Saturday afternoon to take on the Arizona Coyotes.
Florida (37-28-7) is chasing the New Jersey Devils for the last available wild-card playoff berth in the Eastern Conference, and it has been quite a pursuit. The Panthers are three points behind the Devils with two games in hand.
Despite a 4-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night, the Panthers have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL since Jan.
