The Florida Panthers will look to build on a win over the Toronto Maple Leafs when they host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.

The reigning Stanley Cup champs picked up a big divisional win over the Leafs on Tuesday, snapping a five-game skid that saw them fall to Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Detroit.

After avenging their previous loss to the Maple Leafs, the Panthers are aiming to do the same against Detroit following the 2-1 loss on Sunday.

While Florida is third in the divisional standings with four games left on the schedule, it has a chance to improve its standing before the postseason.
