Early results from today's divisional matchups:

Booyah! part I: Philadelphia over Washington, 7-1(!). Brooks Laich scored in the third to prevent a Nittymaki shutout. Carter and Hartnell each had two goals as Philly decimated the visiting Caps. Washington used both Johnson and Theodore in net. Was a call to the website engineering room far behind? Get over to Japers' Rink for the autopsy. Caps: 0 points.

Booyah! part II: Boston over Carolina, 4-2. The Broons had four different goal-scorers, while 63 year-old Manny Fernandez sealed the win in Boston. Did Paul Maurice think his Whaler days were behind him in Beantown? Some luck doesn't change. Hurricanes: 0 points.

Still Ahead tonight:

The eyes of the NHL will be on Fulton County as visiting Tampa Bay meets Atlanta in a battle for the Southeast basement.
