The Florida Panthers were disappointed following their late loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.

Lucky for them, there is no time to dwell on the defeat.

Florida and Nashville go right back at it Friday night at 7, less than 24 hours after the Preds rallied from a two-goal deficit in the final three minutes to beat the Panthers 6-5 in overtime.

The loss, a game the Panthers had in hand, overshadowed the first NHL hat trick from Jonathan Huberdeau.

Sasha Barkov’s goal in the second period also pulled him into sole possession of second place in franchise history with 158 goals scored. He had been tied with Scott Mellanby.

“It’s over,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “Let’s learn from it. We’ll wake up tomorrow and go over the game. This one is right around the corner. They are a good team, a fast team and things happen quickly. Let’s respond the right way.”

The Panthers go into the game 5-0-2 as their seven-game point streak is the second-longest point streak to start a season in franchise history.

It is the longest since the shootout-tiebreaker replaced ties in 2005-06.

The Panthers remain the only team in the league not to have lost a game in regulation this season.

They hope to keep that going Friday with Detroit coming in for a two-game set starting Sunday afternoon.

A Huberdeau Hat Trick not enough as Florida Panthers lose to Nashville

While Sergei Bobrovsky started Thursday, Chris Driedger (2-0-1) will go Friday.

Whether Quenneville changes up the lineup aside from that will likely be known by Friday evening when he speaks to the media.

One thing we know is Aleksi Heponiemi will be out of the lineup. On Friday afternoon, he was sent to AHL Syracuse. Owen Tippett was called back from the taxi squad.

It is possible defenseman Noah Juulsen finds his way into the lineup for the first time since being claimed off waivers from Montreal during training camp.

If not Friday, he looks to get in against the Red Wings.

This is Game 2 of a six-game homestand for the Panthers.
