The Florida Panthers (18-18-4) will be on the prowl for their first three-game winning streak of the 2022-23 campaign when they pay a visit to the Dallas Stars (23-11-6) this afternoon at American Airlines Center. With victories over the Arizona Coyotes and Detroit Red Wings, the Cats have won consecutive games for just the fourth time this season. The Central Division-leading Stars return home after suffering back-to-back defeats on the road in Los Angeles and Anaheim. Who says it never rains in Southern California? With tough stops remaining in Denver and Las Vegas, this game could be key to the success of this four-game road trip for the Panthers. A win will put them back over NHL .500 as they try to claw back into wild card contention.
