Florida Panthers
How to Watch Rangers at Panthers: Lines, Goalies, Betting Odds
The Florida Panthers will have a bunch of veteran players back in the lineup tonight when they play host to the New York Rangers in their regular-season home finale.
Florida plays their final regular-season game tomorrow night in Tampa.
The Panthers will have Sam Bennett and Dmitry Kulikov back from injury tonight.
Kulikov has been out since colliding with Anthony Duclair back on March 16; Bennett has missed the past four games after being hurt in Ottawa.
Coach Paul Maurice said that, while he said Bennett would likely miss the remainder of the regular season, he is ready to get back at it.
“He is 100 percent and he got himself to that point,” Maurice said. “We had a little time, and that was just a buffer for me. There was a chance he would not get to 100 percent for two or three more days, but he is ready, he is skating, and he wants to play. He feels that playing is far better for him than not, so, he plays. If there is any lingering concern, you don’t play.”
Maurice is keeping some key players out again tonight, however.
The third line of Brad Marchand, Anton Lundell, and Eetu Luostarinen will get the night off — as will Mackie Samoskevich and Niko Mikkola.
The Rangers, who were officially eliminated Saturday and have two games left in this most disappointing season, did not hold a morning skate today.
There could be some changes coming for them.
