Cats shooting for first-ever win in Sin City
The Florida Panthers (19-19-4) will look to build on Tuesday night’s anxiety-filled 5-4 win over the Colorado Avalanche, which gave them a 2-1 record on their current four-game road trip, when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights (27-13-2) at T-Mobile Arena. Florida will be looking for its first-ever win in Sin City in this make or break game for the trek west. The well-rested Golden Knights have cooled off recently (5-4-1 in their last ten games), but still hold the lead in the Pacific Division based on fewer games played than the Los Angeles Kings, who soundly beat them by a 5-1 count on Saturday.
