Spacey in Sunrise: Panthers' good luck charm will be at Saturday's game
President Frank Underwood will be in the building.
Kevin Spacey, the star of Netflix's "House of Cards" and an unexpected source of motivation for the first-place Florida Panthers, will be in attendance at Saturday's game in Sunrise, Fla., according to the Miami Herald's George Richards.

The Panthers are mum on the actor's appearance, Richards writes, but it's expected that he'll drop the puck for a ceremonial faceoff before the game.
The Sun Sentinel's Harvey Fialkov, with his finger on the pulse, confirmed Spacey's appearance.
This all began with a sweatshirt: "Spacey in Space." No one knows exactly what it means, or what the motivation behind it was, but it's taken on a life of its own, the club even selling "Spacey in Space" merchandise.
It's a movement, is what it is. A lifestyle. And it's working for the Panthers.
