The Blackhawks take on the Panthers in their third game of a six-game southern road trip.
Both teams are coming off victories but have been trending in different directions lately: the Panthers have won four of their last five games while the Blackhawks have only won two. The Blackhawks will be looking to recapture their February success as they get deeper into the daunting March schedule.
The Panthers have been coming on strong lately, earning a point in seven of their last eight games, most recently a pair of wins against the Blue Jackets. They rallied back from a 4-1 deficit to win in overtime against the Jackets on Thursday on the back of a Frank Vatrano goal.
