Florida Panthers
Panthers GameDay at Flyers: How to Watch, Lines, Goalies, Odds
The Florida Panthers will have a new look in net tonight when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers at 7.
Daniil Tarasov, whom the Panthers acquired in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets in late June, gets his first start with his new team.
Tarasov was excellent for the Panthers during the preseason and should get a few starts on this five-game road trip which kicks off in Philadelphia.
Tonight is the home opener for the Flyers.
