Panthers lineup tonight: Florida’s projected lineup for game against the LA Kings | Jan. 29 2025

On Wednesday, the Florida Panthers will look to get back in the win column after a 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday, when they collide with the LA Kings. While the defending Stanley Cup Champions are heading into tonight's game after a loss, the Kings are amid a two-game skid that has seen them lose four of their last five.

Currently, the Panthers are No. 2 in a competitive Atlantic Division standings, just one point behind the Toronto Maple Leafs, who sit as the divisional leaders. On the flip side, the Kings are No. 3 in the Pacific Division, nine points behind the Golden Knights at No. 2.

With just four wins over their last ten games, and the Calgary Flames nipping at their heels, LA will be looking to pick up a much-needed win tonight amid a competitive Western Conference Wild Card race.
