Tuesday: at Boston Bruins, 7:00 p.m.
The Panthers will attempt to end their three-game road trip on a high note when they visit the Atlantic Division-leading Bruins (11-3-3) on Tuesday at TD Garden. After stringing together six consecutive wins, Boston enters this week in the midst of a three-game losing streak, including a 3-2 shootout loss against Philadelphia on Sunday. Owning the second-ranked defense, the Bruins are currently allowing just 2.41 goals per game. At the heart of that defense, goaltender Tuukka Rask has posted a 7-2-1 record with a 1.99 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage. On offense, David Pastrnak leads the team in scoring with 30 points, including a league-best 15 goals. For the Panthers, look for Evgenii Dadonov to do some damage in this game. The 30-year-old winger has been on a tear as of late, posting five points (two goals, three assists) over his last three games. In his career against the Bruins, he's recorded eight points in 11 contests.

Thursday: Winnipeg Jets, 7:00 p.m.
Following their road trip, the Panthers will return to Sunrise to kick off a four-game homestand against the Jets (10-7-1) at BB&T Center on Thursday. Winnipeg has won four of its last five games entering this week, including a 3-2 overtime win against Dallas on Sunday. In that game, Mark Scheifele scored the game-winning goal just 21 seconds into the extra frame, which also moved him into a tie with a Nikolaj Ehlers for the most goals on the team with seven. He also ranks first on the team in points (17), cracking the scoresheet in five of his last seven games. At the other end of the ice, look for Aleksander Barkov to lead the charge on offense for the Panthers. Riding a five-game goal streak, the 23-year-old captain has notched multi-point performances in four of his last five outings. Leading the team in scoring, he ranks tied for seventh in the NHL in points (22), while also boasting the fifth-most assists (17). In his career against the Jets, Barkov has three goals and three assists in 10 games, with two of those goals from on the power play.

Saturday: New York Rangers, 7:00 p.m.
Less than a week after battling in the Big Apple, the Panthers will host the Rangers (7-6-2) at BB&T Center on Saturday. New York has won five of its last eight games, but enters the week fresh off a 6-5 shootout loss to Florida on Sunday. Prior to that game, the Rangers had been playing some of their best defense of the season, surrendering just one goal in three of their previous five matchups. Artemi Panarin leads the team in goals (8) and points (18). Currently riding an eight-game point streak, the 28-year-old has registered four goals and eight assists during that hot stretch. For the Panthers, keep an eye on Brian Boyle in this one. Scoring the game-tying goal in the third period in the last meeting between these two clubs, the 34-year-old center has been a big contributor all over the ice since joining the team on a one-year contract on Oct. 20. In nine games, he's posted three goals, two assists and 16 hits, while also winning a team-leading 59.4 percent of his faceoffs - including going 14-for-17 in the circle on Sunday.
