Storyline: The Blackhawks have won their last five home games. With leading goal-scorer Patrick Sharp sidelined, look for Viktor Stalberg to join center Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on the top line. The Panthers are playing the second of back-to-back games after kicking off a five-game trip with a 1-0 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. Stephen Weiss leads Florida in scoring with 21 goals and 28 assists.
