KEY GAME INFORMATION
COLUMBUS: LAST SEASON: 43-32-7, 93 points. Eliminated in first round of playoffs by Pittsburgh in 6 games.
COACH: Todd Richards, fourth season with the Blue Jackets, 85-70-16; 5th overall in NHL.
ADDED: LW Scott Hartnell, RW Jerry D'Amigo, RW Brian Gibbons.
LOST: LW R.J. Umberger, C Derek MacKenzie, RW Jack Skille.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Brandon Dubinsky. With two of the team's top centers unavailable (Ryan Johansen, holdout; Boone Jenner, broken hand), the fiery 28-year-old's role only grows bigger. He was already the heart and soul of a team that doesn't have an official captain, even though he would seem the likely choice. Coming off a year in which he had 16 goals and 34 assists and continually came up big late in games, he'll be counted on to provide even more points and leadership.
OUTLOOK: If the contract dispute between Johansen and the club isn't resolved soon, and with Jenner and Nathan Horton (bad back) out for the foreseeable future, the Blue Jackets may have to win a lot of 1-0 and 2-1 games in which G Sergei Bobrovsky stands on his head. Also, several young players (most likely Alexander Wennberg and Simon Hjalmarsson) may have to be gangbusters right from the outset to kill time until the club's at full strength.
FLORIDA: LAST SEASON: 29-45-8, 66 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Gerald Gallant, 1st season with Panthers; 4th overall in NHL, 56-76-4.
ADDED: C Jussi Jokinen, C Dave Bolland, D Willie Mitchell, G Al Montoya, C Derek MacKenzie, LW Shawn Thornton.
LOST: D Tom Gilbert, C Scott Gomez, C Marcel Goc, D Ed Jovanovski, G Tim Thomas, G Scott Clemmensen, G Jacob Markstrom.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Roberto Luongo. For as much as the Panthers are talking about scoring more goals and improving special teams - and rightly so - Florida's hopes hinge upon one of the most popular players in team history. If Luongo is great, the Panthers could be a playoff team. If he struggles, so will Florida.
OUTLOOK: So much has to change quickly for Florida to get in playoff contention, but the Panthers went out and tried during the offseason to revamp just about everything from locker-room mood to on-ice style. Opening with five road games in the season's first seven outings may set the tone.

*Blue Jackets-Panthers Preview* ===============================

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Columbus (21-22-3) at Florida (20-15-10), 7:30 p.m. EDT

Roberto Luongo's struggles have made it difficult for the Florida Panthers to end their longest losing streak of the season.

They hope to at least have the edge in net Thursday night against the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets, who look for an 11th straight victory in the series despite being without Sergei Bobrovsky.

Florida (20-15-10) lost 5-4 to Detroit on Tuesday, its fifth straight defeat despite a season-high three power-play goals on five chances. It was also the Panthers' sixth consecutive home loss, their longest since a six-game slide from Dec. 22, 2007-Jan. 13, 2008. The franchise record is a seven-game losing streak from Feb. 26-March 24, 2003.

Luongo gave up five goals on 17 shots and was pulled in the second period when Florida was outscored 4-1. The Panthers outshot the Red Wings 41-27 and have outshot their opponent in four straight defeats.

"You can't let in four goals like that in a period. It's disappointing for me," said Luongo, who is expected to start Thursday. "There's no excuses. It's just a bad game by me."

The Panthers have given up 21 goals during the losing streak with Luongo starting each game. He was also pulled in an 8-2 loss at Winnipeg on Jan. 13.

Luongo, who is coming off of his fifth All-Star selection, had posted a 2.23 goals-against average in 32 starts prior to the skid - which would have been his second-lowest mark ever.

His 2.18 career GAA versus the Blue Jackets is his third-lowest against one opponent, though he gave up three goals on 20 shots in a 4-3 home shootout loss on Dec. 4. Bobrovsky made a franchise-record 52 saves to extend the Blue Jackets' series winning streak to 10 games, the NHL's second-longest active streak behind Boston's 13-game run versus Edmonton. It's Columbus' longest-ever winning streak against one team and Florida's longest-ever losing streak versus one opponent.

The Panthers also lost 2-1 in Columbus three days earlier and have been held to 16 goals during the losing streak. Their last win in the series was a 5-2 road victory on Nov. 21, 2007.

Career backup Curtis McElhinney is expected to start for Columbus (21-22-3) after stopping 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Washington, the team's third victory in four games. Bobrovsky has won eight straight against the Panthers but was placed on injured reserve Monday with a groin injury that is expected to sideline him for four to six weeks. McElhinney, 5-6-1 with a 2.98 GAA in 16 games, has never faced them.

The Blue Jackets added left wing Jeremy Morin to their IR Wednesday, joining forwards Boone Jenner, Brian Gibbons, Artem Anisimov, Nathan Horton and defenseman Ryan Murray.

Columbus was carried by its top line against the Capitals. Ryan Johansen, the MVP of Sunday's All-Star game, scored his 18th goal and has nine in his last 12 games after scoring as many in his first 34. Cam Atkinson snapped a 17-game drought without a goal and recorded an assist while linemate Nick Foligno had two assists.

The trio combined for 12 shots.

"Our line could have had six goals out there," Johansen said. "I'm happy with the result."

The Blue Jackets held Washington scoreless on three power-play chances. They've surrendered one power-play goal on 13 opportunities in five games since surrendering three power-play goals in a 3-2 loss to Montreal on Jan. 14.
