A rematch of the last two Stanley Cup champions highlights Monday night's NHL slate as the Panthers close out their West Coast swing against the Vegas Golden Knights. Puck drop at T-Mobile Arena is set for 10 p.m. on ESPN+.
Florida (7-7-1), looking to salvage a split on their four-game trip, sits at 2-6-0 on the road after a 3–1 loss Saturday in San Jose. Vegas (7-3-4) has dropped two straight and three of its last four, including a 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim on Saturday.
Brad Marchand has carried the Panthers' attack with goals in four straight and a seven-game point streak. He leads Florida with 10 goals and 16 points, while Anton Lundell has added seven assists. Sergei Bobrovsky (7-4-0, 2.74 GAA) is expected to start in goal.
Vegas, 4-2-2 at home, also hopes to discover offensive stability. The Golden Knights erased a two-goal deficit in the third period against Anaheim before falling in overtime. Pavel Dorofeyev leads Vegas with 10 goals, while Jack Eichel has a team-high 22 points. Goaltender Akira Schmid (6–1–1, 2.51 GAA) has carried most of the load with starter Adin Hill sidelined.
Florida shut out the Golden Knights 3–0 in Sunrise on Oct. 25 and will look to sweep the two-game season series Monday.

Panthers vs Golden Knights Predictions and Picks
"Vegas might miss center William Karlsson (because of) a lower-body injury, but I'm not worried about it. The Golden Knights have plenty of dangerous weapons up front, so Brett Howden would likely shift from the wing to center should Karlsson hit the sidelines. The Panthers' offense looks like a one-man show. Florida's shooting has been awful all season, so I'm going with Vegas in this game. The Golden Knights will be fired up to get revenge for that 3-0 defeat at Florida and get back on the winning track after consecutive home losses against Tampa Bay and Anaheim." — Victor King, Winners and Whiners
"Vegas comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games, and they have allowed at least four goals in all three of those losses. The Golden Knights are 4-2-2 at home this year, while the Panthers are 2-6-0 on the road. Florida has alternated wins and losses over their last nine games, and they lost their last game, which means they are due for a win. I don't know what to think of this Florida team, as they are very inconsistent, but I will fade them with their poor record on the road. Take Vegas to win at home." — David Racey, Sports Chat Place
"I'm on the Golden Knights in this one. I just think that this is a winnable spot for Vegas at home against a Florida team that hasn't been able to take their play out on the road and succeed this season, and it's clearly a Panthers team that's missing Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk right now, as that leadership and talent is hard to replace. Vegas is still a solid team with a strong home ice environment, and I think the Golden Knights get it done here. Give me Vegas." — Chris Ruffolo, PickDawgz
