On the eve of the meeting with Los Angeles, the Panthers held a crazy away match with Pittsburgh. Florida led the score three times but, in the end, had to fight back in the very end. Thanks to Carter Verhage's goal 2.5 minutes before the final, the Panthers managed to move the meeting into overtime. However, there is still lost – 6:7. Under the leadership of Paul Maurice, Florida has not yet become a defensive team, like last season, and plays mostly top matches. Still, in the summary table of the Eastern Conference, it occupies only 10th place. In the second half of the season, the Panthers will have a hot fight for the wild card, with the same Pittsburgh and Washington.

Unlike Florida, the Kings are fairly confident in the playoff zone, occupying third place in the Pacific Division and sixth in the Western Conference summary table. The match with the Panthers will be Los Angeles' fourth in a row on the road. At first, within this segment, Todd McLellan's team lost 3:5 to Nashville but then beat Chicago (2:1) and Philadelphia (4:3 (3:3) + OT).

The Panthers are very unstable this season, and it is already clear that the team's current squad needs to be more suitable for the hockey coach Paul Maurice wants to play. In the meeting with Los Angeles, the problems of Florida will also certainly make themselves felt. Spencer Knight will most likely return to the goal, but this is hardly a remedy for today's Panthers, given, in general, an extremely weak defensive game.
