Tonight, the Florida Panthers will look to pick up their second straight win over the Anaheim Ducks after a 3-0 shutout win over the team on Saturday. The reigning Stanley Cup Champs have hit a bit of a lull as of late, going 5-4-1 over their last 10. However, their recent win over the Ducks should give them plenty of momentum in tonight's contest.
While the Panthers' recent win put the team back in the win column, it extended Anaheim's losing streak to three, making the team just 3-5-2 in their last ten.
Heading into tonight's cross-conference showdown, the Panthers are in second place in the Atlantic Division, five points behind the first-place Maple Leafs. On the flip side, the Ducks are sitting in seventh place in the Pacific Division, three points behind the sixth-placed Kraken.
