Florida Panthers News & Notes:
The Panthers have lost three of their last four games, and in a weird scheduling quirk, they played two in a row against New Jersey and then two straight against the Winnipeg Jets. Florida is 6-3-0 on the road this season as they face off against the Blackhawks tonight in Chicago. Florida is in second place in the Atlantic Division only one point behind first place Toronto but the Panthers have a game in hand.
