Panthers GameDay at Wild: How to Watch, Goalies, Lines, Odds

The Florida Panthers have a tough road test tonight against a Minnesota Wild team that has won three of its past four games.

The Panthers are coming off a 2-1 shootout win against the Winnipeg Jets — but have a back-to-back set with the Wild and Chicago Blackhawks coming up.

Brad Marchand was back on the ice for the Panthers today, but Paul Maurice did not say whether or not he would return to the lineup.

Florida did activate Marchand off IR, but he could miss his eighth straight game.
