The Florida Panthers (15-15-4) will visit the New York Islanders (18-14-2) tonight in its last game before taking a holiday break. Florida has lost two in a row and dropped five of its last seven games. The Islanders are struggling a bit offensively and just 1-3-2 in their last six tilts. Both teams are currently out of a playoff spot. The Washington Capitals, who currently hold the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, are two points ahead of the Islanders and have a six-point lead over the Cats. The Panthers won the first two games over New York in October and will be going for the season series sweep.
