The St. Louis Blues are 4-0-0 on the season, but here they'll play their third game in four days while the Panthers have been off since a 5-4 victory against the Lightning on Oct. 7th.

The Florida Panthers are 18-8 in their last 26 games playing on three or more days rest and I think the rest advantage will play a huge part here.
STL has a ton of injuries.
Forwards Alexander Steen (left hand), Patrik Berglund (shoulder surgery), Robby Fabbri (knee surgery) and Zach Sanford (shoulder surgery) are all out. Fabbri is gone for the season, Sanford needs months of rehab, Berglund could be back by December, and Steen could return by the end of this month.

On defense, the picture is not as bleak. First-pair defenseman Jay Bouwmeester (left ankle) is the only one injured on the blue line, and he could possibly return within one week.

The Panthers are very explosive on offense and get a lot of shots at goal. I think this is a good spot for Florida at home on Thursday evening.
