Florida Panthers (38-21-3, 79 points, 2nd Atlantic, 3rd East)

After a rude awakening in Tampa on Tuesday, the Blue Jackets travel across the state to face the defending champion Florida Panthers, who themselves have won 9 of their last 11. Good luck!

Player to Watch

Seth Jones

In the first big move of the final week before the trade deadline, the Panthers acquired former Blue Jacket defenseman Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks (in the middle of the Stadium Series game, rude) along with a 4th round pick in 2026 for goalie Spencer Knight and a first round pick in either 2026 or 2027.
