The Senators are back in action for the back half of a back-to-back. Wow that's a lot of back!

Fresh off a big 4-2 victory over division foes Tampa Bay Lightning, the Sens head south to Sunrise to wrap up this road trip taking on the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena. Not an easy task facing what might be the hottest team in hockey, winning nine of their last ten games and sitting just one point behind Boston with a game in hand for the top of the Eastern Conference.

Florida boast one of the best defensive structures in the league, holding opponents to just 2.44 goals per game on 27.6 shots, both the second fewest in the NHL. Add in their dynamite penalty kill (83.1%) ranking fourth and this team does not give up much. On the other side of the puck they have stars like Sam Reinhart with 39 goals this season and Matthew Tkachuk, Carter Verhaege, and Aleksander Barkov averaging over a point per game. Suffice it to say this team is dangerous on either side of the puck and the Sens will have their work cut out for them tonight.

I wonder if there will be some fireworks tonight? Wasn't their last tilt rather spirited?

C'mon Sens gotta get up for this real challenge. Pretty good discipline to avoid Tampa pp's. Might be harder tonite.
