Panthers lineup tonight: Florida’s projected lineup for game against the Chicago Blackhawks | Feb. 1, 2025

The Florida Panthers will look to make it two in a row on Saturday after a 3-0 shutout win over the LA Kings on Wednesday returned them to the win column. Across from them on the ice today will be a Chicago Blackhawks team that's fresh off a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes last time out.

While Chicago's sitting at the bottom of the Central Division with little, if any, hopes of making it into the postseason, the Panthers are atop the Atlantic Division with a record of 30-19-3, just one point ahead of the second-place Toronto Maple Leafs.

With the postseason in sight, the defending Stanley Cup Champions will be looking to build some momentum after winning just five of their last 10 as they look to make a deep postseason run to the Stanley Cup once more.
