Jacob Markstrom has not had an answer for Tyler Toffoli: 11 goals on 66 shots. But the Panthers have owned this one lately, winning 10 of the last 13 meetings.
The Panthers can't afford penalties against a power play that ranks 3rd, not with a kill that sits 31st. Will Smith has made a habit of hurting the Panthers: 7 points in the last 4 meetings.
