Cats shooting for second three-game winning streak tonight
The Florida Panthers (32-27-6) will be shooting for its second three-game winning streak of the season when they face the lowly Chicago Blackhawks (22-37-5) tonight at FLA Live Arena. Florida has four games left on its current homestand and collecting two points against one of the league bottom-feeders will help them remain within striking distance of the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins. On Monday, the Blackhawks helped the Panthers out by blanking the Ottawa Senators 5-0 to end a four-game losing streak. They followed that up with a 4-3 defeat in Detroit on Wednesday.
