The Ottawa Senators were on a roll, winning five straight, but that all ended when they hit the state of Florida. The Sens have lost two in a row, both to the Tampa Bay Lighting. Tonight they visit the champion Florida Panthers and had better bring their A-game. The Panthers are 16-9-2 in Sunrise and are hot. They have won 4 of their last 5, 7 of their last 10, and are 4-0 in their last 4 home games. Ottawa has been a force on their home ice, with a record of 16-7-2, but when they take it on the arches they are 13-15-2 and have lost 4 of their last 5 away from Canadian Tire Centre.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FLORIDA PANTHERS
