SUNRISE, Fla — The Florida Panthers will once again be without Matthew Tkachuk as they take on his former Calgary Flames.
Florida is searching for its eighth win in its past 10 games and its second win in three games without Tkachuk out of the lineup.

Calgary is looking to rebound after losing 3-0 to the Lightning in Tampa Bay on Thursday.
The Flames sit one point behind the Vancouver Canucks for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference.
