Tuesday: at Arizona Coyotes, 10 p.m. ET
The Panthers will kick off their four-game road trip with their first-ever visit to the 5,000-seat Mullett Arena to face the Coyotes (2-5-1) on Tuesday. After opening up their season with six straight games on the road, the Coyotes have dropped each of the first two games in their new barn, including a 3-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Sunday. South Florida native Shayne Gostisbehere leads Arizona and ranks third among NHL defensemen with four goals.

Ranking 31st in the NHL on defense with an average of 4.38 goals allowed per game, the Coyotes have been utilizing both Connor Ingram and Karel Vejmelka between the pipes. While each netminder has one win, neither has a save percentage over .900. For the Panthers, look for Matthew Tkachuk to do some damage in the desert. First on the team in goals (5), assists (8) and points (13), he's produced a whopping 21 points in 17 career games against the Coyotes.

Thursday: at San Jose Sharks, 10:30 p.m. ET
The Panthers will play their first of three straight games in the Golden State when they clash with the Sharks (3-8-0) at SAP Center on Thursday. After opening up the season on a five-game losing streak, San Jose has gone 3-3-0, but enters this week on the heels of a 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Sunday: at Anaheim Ducks, 9 p.m. ET
Hoping to put a bow on a busy week, the Panthers will wrap up their four-game trek out west with a matchup against the Ducks (2-6-1) at Honda Center on Sunday. After winning their first game of the season, the Ducks dropped seven straight games before breaking out of that skid with a 4-3 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday.

Getting the bulk of the workload in the crease, John Gibson owns a 2-5-1 record with a .888 save percentage.
