Florida is in second place in the Atlantic Division with 58 points. But the Panthers are in must-win mode having lost three in a row - two in overtime - and finishing a five-game homestand with this matchup.

Look for the Panthers to take their frustrations out on Minnesota, which is a patsy right now. Dealing with multiple injuries, the Wild has lost nine of their last 11 games. Minnesota played last night at Tampa Bay and fell to the Lightning, 7-3. The Wild are 1-5 when playing without rest.
