The Panthers enter Saturday's matchup following a 4-3 road win over the Canucks on Wednesday night. Michael Del Zotto gave the Canucks a 1-0 lead just 37 seconds into the game, but Evgenii Dadonov, Jamie McGinn, Alexander Petrovic and Nick Bjugstad all had first-period tallies to give the Panthers a 4-2 lead after 20 minutes. Jacob Markstrom allowed four goals on 14 shots before being replaced at the start of the second by Anders Nilsson, who stopped all 20 shots he faced in relief. Bo Horvat had the Canucks other first-period tally and Brock Boeser added his 27th of the year on a second-period powerplay, but the Canucks failed to find the equalizer as Panthers goalie James Reimer made 34 saves for the win … The Panthers are 6-1-0 in their last seven games.
