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

The Florida Panthers did not take golf carts to the morning skate on Thursday, nor will they will shorts and sandals to tonight’s game against the Winnipeg Jets.

When the Panthers left Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday, it was in the mid-70s.

Today in Winnipeg, it was minus-20.

A little bit of a difference.

The Panthers, obviously, are not used to those kind of extreme temperatures anymore but when the puck drops tonight, they will not be worried about the cold outside.

Florida is coming off a 4-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks and play three games in four nights in buildings it has not fared well in lately.

After playing the Jets, the Panthers will fly to Minnesota for a Saturday date with the Wild; then comes Sunday in Chicago against Spencer Knight and the Blackhawks.
