Southeast Standings

	GP	W	L	OTL	PT
Washington	54	34	16	4	72
Carolina	54	27	22	5	59
Florida	52	25	19	8	58
Tampa Bay	53	18	24	11	47
Atlanta	54	18	31	5	41

No change in the division standings, unless one considers Atlanta losing again being "significant".

Philadelphia's Jeff Carter scored two goals and handed the Thrashers yet one more loss. Pump the Flyers two more points above Florida in the East. Ducky.

It wasn't all bad news in the conference, though...

Detroit's Ty Conklin shutout the Penguins 3-0. The tailspin in Pittsburgh (57 points, 10th place, and a coach being led to the gallows pole) continues.

TONIGHT

No Southeast games at all this evening, but keep primed for:

NY Rangers @ New Jersey, 7p. Five points up on the Panthers, New York attempts to shut down a hot Devils squad (8-2 last ten...no Brodeur).
Montreal @ Calgary, 9p. The Habs, 3-7 in their past ten, look to grab the fourth spot from Philadelphia. Montreal is currently six points ahead of the Cats. It's okay to be a closet Iron Mike fan for one night.

…AND ultimately Shawn Matthias, but we’ll see how that goes.

Mikey’s now dealing with his good buddy Louie six times per year, so call it a bit of karma.

Just to get everyone excited....

If the Panthers win the next two games (something they need to do) and the Rangers lose their next game, then when the two meet up this weekend, the team that wins will be higher in the standings… Pretty exciting because the Panthers have put in a lot of hard work recently, especially January, and it hasn’t really shown in the standings. Instead of pulling away from the teams next to them in the standings, the have moved into breathing distance of the middle seed teams. At this rate, a number 5 seed is not out of the question if they are going to make the playoffs.
