Key Storylines

• Recent form: Utah entered mid-January on a 5-0-1 points run and kept stacking results behind improved five-on-five play. They did take a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in their last outing, though, and will try to avoid an 0-2 Floridian swing with a win here. Florida has steadied things with four wins in their last five games and they will try to pick up another victory tonight.

Sergei Bobrovsky’s season record is 20-14-1 with a 3.08 GAA and .875 save rate, yet he continues to rack up decisions and has three shutouts.

Peterka. For Florida, Sam Reinhart carries 26 goals and 50 points, Carter Verhaeghe produces shot volume and rush chances, and veteran Brad Marchand is an elite playmaker when he is healthy.
