PANTHERS LINEUP

The Panthers did not skate this morning after arriving late last night from St. Paul. Tonight's game is pretty important for them, too - with the Washington Capitals winning in Boston last night and Florida only getting a point against the Wild, the Panthers' lead in the Southeast Division is down to four games with four games to play.

Barring any last-minute roster changes, they are expected to use the same lineup but the starting goaltender is not yet known. Scott Clemmensen, who has played well of late, could get the start after Theodore played in Minnesota.

Fleischmann-Weiss-Upshall
Bergenheim-Goc-Kopecky
Wolski-Matthias-Versteeg
Sturm-Madden-Smithson

Garrison-Campbell
Jovanovski-Gudbranson
Kulikov-Weaver

Theodore
Clemmensen
