Tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET, the Florida Panthers (5-12-4, 14 points) and the Vancouver Canucks (11-8-3, 25 points) hit the ice against each other live from Rogers Arena in the first of two meetings against each other this season. The game can be live streamed here. Florida fans can hear all of the hard-hitting action by tuning their dials to 560 WQAM while Vancouver fans can do the same on TEAM Radio 1040.
Florida enters play 2-8-1 on the road but has won two of three games for the first time this season while Vancouver is on a four-game winless skid (0-3-1) and has scored just one goal in each of those losses.
The Canucks rattled off 45 shots against the Dallas Stars on Sunday but was only able to find the twine once in a 2-1 defeat.
"I thought our team played hard," Canucks coach John Tortorella said via NHL.com. "Again, it's another 20-scoring chance night. We just need to stay within ourselves and keep on playing and not get frustrated and not let it get to us."
The Panthers scored their most goals since Oct. 11 on Saturday against one of the NHL's top teams in the Colorado Avalanche during a 4-1 victory.
"We made a commitment that we were going to change things around. Although it hasn't happened overnight, we're headed in the right direction and that's what you see happening on the ice right now," said goalie Tim Thomas, who had 32 saves in the win, according to NHL.com.
Thomas is 4-6-0 with a 2.87 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage through 11 games this season. For Vancouver, Roberto Luongo has started 18 of the team's 23 games and is 9-6-3 with a 2.36 GAA and a .912 save percentage.
The Panthers have been led offensively by Brian Campbell and Tomas Fleischmann who each have three goals and nine assists for 12 points while Jonathan Huberdeau has five tallies and six helpers for 11 points thus far this season.
The Sedin twins have paced Vancouver as Henrik leads the team off of four goals and 18 assists for 22 points while Daniel has seven tallies and 10 helpers for 17 points. Ryan Kesler has lit the lamp nine times and added six assists for 15 points.
The Panthers will look to continue their recent success while the Canucks will hope to find their offense when the lights come on at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
