Scouting Report (courtesy of Winners and Whiners)

The Florida Panthers are looking to avoid a third straight defeat. They were clobbered by the Lightning on Sunday and were dealt a 4-2 road loss by the Bruins on Tuesday. It’s not a big deal considering they have secured the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Panthers are sporting an 8-2 record in their last ten games overall.

The Ottawa Senators are playing some of their best hockey of the season. They have won four in a row after registering a 5-4 overtime home win over the Devils on Tuesday night. Overall it’s been a poor season for a young team but they certainly have the potential for next season. The Senators are 6-3-1 in their last ten bouts.
