Coming off a homestand that was the epitome of mediocrity, the Florida Panthers (9-7-2) pay a visit to the Columbus Blue Jackets (6-10-1) this evening at Nationwide Arena. Most of Florida’s losses this season have been due to a lack of scoring punch, but the team’s back end has all the sprung a leak as they were beaten 6-4 by Dallas on Thursday and 5-4 in a shootout by Calgary yesterday. The Blue Jackets were on a two-game winning streak and 3-1-1 in their last five before they were blasted 6-1 by the Detroit Red Wings last night.
