No time to bask in the glow of a shootout loss just a day ago. Truth be told anyway, the Panthers didn't play a lousy game, they just failed to convert on their opportunities against New Jersey.

Scoring's been a bit of an issue for the Cats after storming their way to number 13 in Goals-For. What's the deal?

On a much happier note, we may be looking at the return of Dmitry Kulikov tonight.

Another 7pm start; Live Game Forum up around 6.
