The Panthers continue their homestand after a strong win over the Golden Knights with a tough matchup against former coach Joel Quenneville and the Anaheim Ducks.

Getting back to their blueprint in their last outing, the Panthers kept one of the top offenses in the NHL off the scoreboard during a 3-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.

The Florida Panthers will not have leading scorer Brad Marchand in the lineup Tuesday against the visiting Anaheim Ducks due to a death in the family. Marchand, 37, leads Florida in goals (five), assists (six) and points (11) in 10 games this season.

Brad Marchand is away from the Panthers as he is helping a friend who lost his daughter to cancer. He is expected back with the team soon.

Florida has won four of its eight games as a favorite this season. In three games with moneyline odds shorter than -184 this season, the Panthers have picked up a victory twice. The moneyline odds imply that Florida has a 64.8% chance of winning this contest.
