Florida Flukin Panthers > LTIR Maple Leafs

26-16-5 --vs-- 22-20-6
Panthers last 10 games: 7-3-0
Wild last 10 games: 4-5-1
The Panthers haven't won in Minnesota since a 3-2 SOW back on March 9, 2010...
I think it's time to end the misery and continue this budding confidence within the group. The Cats can put some distance between them and the idle Leafs, who both sit at 57 pts.
Definitely won't be easy for the Cats who are 10-8-3 on the road where as the Wild sport a 13-5-4 home record.
The Panthers should aim to test their 6th ranked PP vs the Wild's 26th ranked PK.
Both teams are bottom 10 in goals against but Florida has the big advantage on offense.
Florida's injuries: Weegar (LTIR), Driedger (week to week), Toninato (day to day with flu)
Minnesota's injuries: Koivu (day to day with flu), Hunt (day to day with flu)
The Wild are currently 7pts out of the 2nd WC spot held by the Coyotes while having games in hand but sit last place in the Central division with 50pts in 48 games.
They have the 14th ranked offense in goals per game.
The Wild are average to below average in key offensive and defensive stats but seem to play lights out at home.
The expected goalie match-up will be Bobrovsky vs Dubnyk.

"I thought we disrupted their power play," said Panthers coach Joel Quenneville following Sunday's practice in Minnesota. "With Bob [goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky] in net, we did a good job with the shooting lanes, passing lanes and also had some good clears.
"I thought there was consistency from start to finish on the PK. It's three more than we've seen in any game all year, and when you're short for as much time as we were, that was a good night for the penalty killers. Everybody should be excited about what happened."
Hopefully Brunette can help Q game-plan for MIN, he was there for seven years before joining the Panthers this off-season
