Florida Panthers at Columbus Blue Jackets NHL game preview, Digi Mart USA News (Columbus, Ohio): The Florida Panthers (9-7-2, 20 points) will finish off a three-game road trip when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets (7-8-0, 14 points) tonight at Nationwide Arena for the second time this season.
It was a weekend to forget for the Panthers, who followed up a 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals with a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins on Sunday. Florida put 41 shots on Jeremy Swayman, but Carter Verhaeghe’s late first-period power-play goal was all they could muster against the locked-in Bruins netminder.
Brady and Matthew Tkachuk assisted on the goal, and a busy Jacob Markström made 32 saves, including 12 of the high-danger variety.
Columbus impressively won its last two home games over Colorado and Dallas, but a Friday night trip to Buffalo resulted in a 5-2 loss to the Sabres. Kent Johnson had a goal and an assist, and Zach Werenski also lit the lamp for the Blue Jackets, who fell back below the .500 mark.
Goaltender Jet Greaves took his fourth straight loss, finishing with 31 stops on 36 shots faced.
