The Panthers close out a four-game road trip coming off a 4-0 blanking of the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. Brad Marchand finished with two goals and an assist, and Sergei Bobrovsky needed only 15 saves to record the shutout. Anton Lundell added a goal and a helper, and Sam Bennett also lit the lamp for Florida, which is 2-1-0 on its trip. Marchand leads the squad with 18 goals and 34 points, while Sam Reinhart has 15 goals. Bobrovsky is 13-8-1 in 22 starts, posting three shutouts with an .886 save percentage and 2.84 goals against average.

Tampa Bay fought back from an early 2-0 deficit on Saturday night but lost 3-2 in a shootout at the New York Islanders. J.J. Moser got the equalizer 3:20 into the third period after Darren Raddysh got the Lightning on the board on the power play at 10:13 of the second. Nikita Kucherov finished with a pair of assists. Andrei Vasilievskiy didn’t play in goal and is questionable for Monday, leaving Jonas Johansson as the top option. He is 7-5-1 in 14 games, and 13 starts with a .904 save percentage and 2.59 GAA. Brandon Hagel leads Tampa Bay with 18 goals, while Jake Guentzel has contributed 15. Kucherov has a team-high 42 points.

It is the second meeting of the season between the rivals, with Florida taking a 3-1 win at home on Nov. 15.
