SUNRISE, Florida (Ticker) -- The Florida Panthers try for their fourth straight win when they host the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.

The Panthers started their streak with a 6-3 pounding of Boston and followed up by beating Toronto, 7-3.

Florida won its third straight with a 3-2 comeback victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday. The Panthers, who had not won a game all season when trailing after two periods, scored three third-period goals to get the win.

Chris Gratton and Nathan Horton scored goals 21 seconds apart to tie the game, 2-2, before Rostislav Olesz scored midway through the third period.

The Hurricanes come off a 5-1 triumph over the New York Islanders on Friday. Rod Brind'Amour led the Hurricanes with a goal and two assists while Cory Stillman had three assists.

Cam Ward made 24 saves for Carolina, which went 4-for-9 on the power play.
