The Florida Panthers (22-13-2) are set to face off against the struggling New York Rangers (16-18-1) at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday night, with both teams looking to bounce back from recent setbacks.

The Atlantic Division-leading Panthers, despite their strong overall record, enter the contest having failed to score in their last two games, while the Rangers arrive in Florida amid a concerning three-game losing streak during which they've managed just three goals total.

Sam Reinhart leads the Panthers' sixth-ranked offense with 22 goals and 23 assists, while Rangers' star Artemi Panarin has contributed 16 goals and 22 assists for New York's 23rd-ranked attack.

The matchup presents an intriguing contrast between Florida's high-powered offense, averaging 3.35 goals per game, and New York's defensive struggles, allowing 3.09 goals per contest.

Both teams will be eager to reverse their recent fortunes, with the Panthers aiming to maintain their division lead and the Rangers desperate to climb out of the Metropolitan Division basement.

As these teams prepare to face off in what promises to be a compelling matchup, the key question remains whether the Panthers can rediscover their scoring touch or if the Rangers can finally snap their offensive drought.
