The Florida Panthers (http://panthers.nhl.com/) hope to carry their current positive momentum into what's usually a difficult month for them when they open their November schedule at the Buffalo Sabres (http://sabres.nhl.com/) on Friday.
The Panthers (5-7-0) scored four times in the final period - including three goals on the power play - to beat Carolina 4-2 on Wednesday. Florida has converted 6-of-11 power-play chances in its last two games after going 3-for-26 with the man advantage over its previous five contests.
"We've finished the month 5-7," coach Jacques Martin told the Panthers' official Web site. "If we win these next two games we'll be back to .500 and right in the thick of things."
Winning in November hasn't been easy for Florida, though. The Panthers have won just four of 26 games in the last two Novembers, including only one of 13 on the road.
The road has been tough on Florida already this season, as it has dropped three straight away from Bank Atlantic Center to fall to 1-5-0. The Panthers have also lost in their last three road trips to Buffalo, where they are 6-16-2 with three ties all-time.
Florida has also already fallen to the Sabres at home this season, surrendering three third-period goals in a 4-2 defeat last Friday.
