Panthers searching for goals, host Hurricanes

Nov 24, 2008 - 3:47 PM Carolina (11-8-2) at Florida (7-11-1) 7:30 p.m. EST

SUNRISE, Florida (Ticker) -- Another goal scoring drought has dropped the Florida Panthers into last place in the Eastern Conference.

Florida will look to break out on the offensive end and lift itself out of the basement when it hosts the Carolina Panthers on Monday.

The Panthers have been road warriors to start the season, playing 12 of its 19 games away from home so far this campaign. They are 3-8-1 on the season, having managed two goals or less in seven of those contests.

David Booth, who leads the team with nine goals, scored in the Panthers' 4-2 loss to Boston on Friday. Nathan Horton has six goals and six assists for Florida, which ranks last in the NHL with 44 goals.

Carolina had its first three-game winning streak of the season snapped in a 5-2 loss to Nashville on Sunday.

Cam Ward allowed a season-high five goals as the Hurricanes ended a four-game homestand on a sour note. Matt Cullen and Chad LaRose scored for Carolina.

Carolina posted a 6-4 victory over Florida in the season opener behind tallies by six different players and three assists from Tim Gleason.
