The Hurricanes (28-15-4) are back in action tonight at 7 PM to take on the Florida Panthers (24-18-3) at home, looking to snap a two game losing skid.

On Tuesday, the Canes were shutout against the Blues after giving up all three goals in the second period for their second straight loss. Tonight will not only be a chance to get back in the win column, but also give Carolina their first victory over the Panthers this season.

In the two losses against the Panthers this season, the Canes gave up multi-goal leads in both. Carolina was outscored by Florida 8-2 in the third period of those games.

Despite the struggles that Carolina has had with the Panthers this season, the back-to-back reigning Stanley Cup champions currently sit at 7th in a tough Atlantic Division with 51 points and are banged up heading into tonight’s tilt.

Florida will be without their leading scorer, Brad Marchand, who is still listed as day-to-day after leaving the game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 6 early. Defenseman Seth Jones, who has 24 points in 40 games this season, is still on injured reserve and won’t play tonight.

In addition to Marchand and Jones, the Panthers will still be without star winger Matthew Tkachuk, who has been out all season due to injury.

For those actually suiting up tonight for Florida, watch out for Sam Reinhart who has 45 points in as many games, including 24 goals on the year so far.

The Panthers are currently on a two game winning streak and 5-4-1 in their last 10.

In the crease, Sergei Bobrovsky will get the nod for Florida. Bobrovsky hasn’t been as strong between the pipes this season as years past, posting a 2.90 GAA and .881 save percentage.

As for the Canes, it looks like Brandon Bussi would be the most likely option in net. Bussi currently holds a 2.31 GAA and .902 save percentage to go along with his fantastic 16-3-1 record.

Shayne Gostisbehere and William Carrier will be game time decisions tonight.

It will be up to the Canes to get over the hump against a beatable, yet at the same time seemingly unbeatable, Florida Panthers team.
