Florida captain Sasha Barkov will play in his 800th NHL game this afternoon when the Panthers play host to the Montreal Canadiens in Sunrise.

Barkov, the second-overall pick of the 2013 NHL Draft, has already played more games than anyone else in Panthers history.

So, obviously, he is the first Florida player to hit the 800 game mark solely with the franchise.

The Panthers have won seven straight in Sunrise.

Florida has not lost since it got beat 2-1 loss by the Kraken on Feb. 22 coming out of the 4 Nations break.

After today, the Panthers hit the road, playing a four-game road trip which consists of back-to-back games.

Florida plays in Montreal on Tuesday, then Toronto on Wednesday; the trip continues Saturday in Ottawa before finishing in Detroit on Sunday.

How to Watch: Tonight’s game is on local TV and can be streamed locally on Panthers+. Since NHL Network is also showing the game nationally, it will not be streamed on ESPN+.
Starting Goalies: Florida will have Sergei Bobrovsky in net; Bob is 7-2-0 this month with three shutouts and a 1.44/.934. The Canadiens are coming off a back-to-back against the Flyers and Hurricanes; Sam Montembeault is expected to start. NHL Betting Odds: The local book again has Florida as a pretty big favorite (-275) on the money line. To win with the Panthers, a $275 bet pays $100.
