The Florida Panthers (24-18-3) will resume its six-game road trip when they take on the Carolina Hurricanes (28-15-4) tonight in Raleigh, looking to complete the season-series sweep against the Metropolitan Division leaders.

Florida evened its record (2-2) on its current six-game road trip by cooling off the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 at KeyBank Center on Monday. A.J. Greer scored twice and Sam Reinhart and Anton Lundell also lit the lamp to provide the offense while Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 20 of 23 shots to collect his 19th win of the season. While his save percentage and goals against average leave something to be desired, Bobrovsky is tied for the second-most wins in the NHL.

The Hurricanes followed up Monday’s 4-3 overtime loss in Detroit, which ended a four-game winning streak, by getting blanked 3-0 by Joel Hofer and the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on Tuesday. Like the Panthers, Carolina will come into the contest rested. Sebastian Aho leads the club in scoring with 45 points while Seth Jarvis has a team-high 21 goals.
