Scouting Report 

The Florida Panthers fell to 3-3 in the preseason after getting blanked 2-0 by Jonas Johansson and the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday night at Amway Center in Orlando.

Tampa Bay got power-play goals from Tanner Jeannot and Nick Paul and 25 saves from Johansson, who was briefly a member of the Panthers.

After combining for 160 penalty minutes in the first chapter of these final three preseason meeting, hopefully the teams will manage to play a little more 5-on-5 hockey tonight.
