Scouting Report (courtesy of Winners & Whiners)
A pair of teams from the Atlantic Division on opposite sides of the playoff cut line take the ice down in the Sunshine State looking to earn two points. The Detroit Red Wings are on the road as they travel to face the Florida Panthers Saturday night. Detroit was upended 3-1 on the road by Tampa Bay Friday night in the front half of their back-to-back set that comes to a close here. Florida rolls in off a 3-0 home win over Ottawa in their most recent game Thursday night. In the last 10 meetings between the teams, the Panthers own an 8-2 advantage and have won the last three meetings. That includes a 3-2 overtime triumph on the road in the first matchup this season back on October 29, 2021.
