SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – The Florida Panthers will look to bounce back from consecutive home losses on Thursday night, when they host the dangerous Columbus Blue Jackets at the BB&T Center in Sunrise.
Thursday’s clash will be game 4 of the Panthers current 5-game home stand, where they’ve gone 1-2-0 so far. On Monday, the Panthers had no trouble scoring goals, but fell 8-5 to the Atlantic Division-leading Tampa Bay Lightning.
After Tampa’s fifth goal, Florida netminder James Reimer was replaced midway through the second period by backup Antti Niemi, who gave up three tallies in his Panthers’ debut.
