The Florida Panthers (33-27-7) have a big opportunity to close in on a wild card spot when they host the Montreal Canadiens (27-35-6) tonight at FLA Live Arena. Florida is currently five points back of the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders, holding three games in hand on the Islanders. The Panthers 5-4 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night put them at 3-1-1 on this important seven-game homestand. Montreal opened a three-game road trip with a 6-4 victory over the Penguins on Tuesday. Florida has won the first two meetings between the clubs this season.
