The Florida Panthers will try to bounce back from a loss in Philadelphia against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night in Newark.

It was the first time since the 2022-23 season that the Panthers lost a game in regulation when it held a lead going into the second period.


This is the third and final meeting between the Panthers and Devils (during he regular season, anyway) with New Jersey sweeping a two-game set in Sunrise on Nov. 12-14.
