Florida Panthers' Kevin Dineen might give Scott Clemmensen a second look after the veteran returned from a knee injury Tuesday to post his seventh career shutout with 25 saves. Florida Panthers’ top line of Kris Versteeg, Stephen Weiss and Tomas Fleischmann has been pulling its weight with 11 goals and 26 points in the last eight games, but the team is just 2 for 18 on the power play in the past four. Florida Panthers' Brian Campbell is among the league leaders with 16 assists, and Dmitry Kulikov and Jason Garrison have also been major contributors for a unit that has totaled 52 points. Florida Panthers will have a good chance for a fifth consecutive road win - they last accomplished that Nov. 28-Dec. 12, 2008 - if the defense continues to deliver.
St. Louis Blues, a 2-1 winner in Sunrise, Fla., on Feb. 8 in the teams’ only meeting last season, has posted shutouts in two of the Panthers’ last three visits. St. Louis Blues will be without right wing Chris Stewart for the next three games after he received a suspension from the league for a check from behind Tuesday that led to a game misconduct. St. Louis Blues goes for its first eight-game home point streak since an 8-0-1 run to open last season. St. Louis Blues have been doing that at home all season, going 6-0-1 since a 4-2 loss to Nashville on Oct. 8. St. Louis Blue are 3-0-1 since the switch following Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Detroit, have gone 3 for 14 on the power play since Hitchcock took over. They converted 3 of 40 opportunities under Payne.
