:cats: @ :rags: Preview
PANTHERS (16-8-5) at RANGERS (16-6-4)
TV: FS-Florida (HD), MSG (HD)
Last 10: Florida 6-2-2; New York 6-3-1.
Season Series: This is the second of four meetings between the teams. Florida earned a 2-1 victory against the Rangers on Nov. 23 at the BankAtlantic Center. Tomas Fleischmann assisted on both of the goals for the Panthers.
Big Story: Playing just outside Fort Lauderdale, the Panthers don't exactly have too many opportunities to hold practices outside. That's why they took full advantage to do so as they skated in New York's Central Park on Saturday at Lasker Rink.
"We felt that there's no place more special to be than New York City around the Christmas holidays and we wanted to do something special, so we came out here to Central Park," Florida coach Kevin Dineen told NHL.com. "You can just tell how much fun the guys are having. We're having a tough time getting them off the ice."
