Scouting Report
It wasn’t pretty but the Florida Panthers picked up their fourth straight win against the Detroit Red Wings in overtime on Thursday. They are now tied with the Tampa Bay Lightning for first in the Central Division. Now they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets on their home ice where they have been tremendous this season, posting a record of 12-4-3. Florida leads the series 3-1 and will be hungry for points as they battle for the top spot in the division. Jonathan Huberdeau extended his point streak to four games on Thursday to help fill the void for the shorthanded Panthers.
