Sam Bennett, who ranks second among Panthers players in points on the year (15), was a surprise scratch after tightening up in morning skate.

The Sharks halt the Devils win streak at three after defeating New Jersey 1-0. The opening goal was one of the more unfortunate ones you can see in a hockey game. The own-goal. With the puck deflecting off of Timo Meier past Jake Allen at 16:21 of the first period, the own-goal stood the test of time between the Devils and Sharks.

Jesper Bratt is such a fun player to watch, but last game you could sense the frustration. He put up eight shots on goal in the team's most recent contest but wasn’t able to find the back of the net. Bratt is averaging 2.89 shots per game and has hit this number with ease throughout the early parts of the season.
