Blackhawks take on Panthers for first time in two years

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago Blackhawks look to get back on track when they take on the Florida Panthers for the first time in two years on Sunday.

Chicago has lost five of its last six games, including a 3-1 setback to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. The Blackhawks have been at least one game above .500 since November 7, but would fall to that mark with a defeat against Florida.

Rookie Patrick Kane leads the team - and all rookies - with 23 assists and 31 points. The first overall pick has been helped by fellow rookie Johnathan Toews (12 goals, 12 assists) and veteran Robert Lang, who has nine goals and 17 assists.

Since getting back to .500 on November 28, Florida has lost five of its last seven games, including a 5-2 defeat at Detroit on Saturday.

This is the first meeting between the two teams since Florida posted a 4-3 overtime triumph over Chicago on December 3, 2005.
