"Jacob Markstrom wowed fans with back-to-back stellar performances with wins over Charlotte and Texas after being the tough-luck loser in 1-0 games in Oklahoma City and Houston. Overall, he has a 95 percent save percentage and stopped 90 of 94 shots in the two weekend wins. Should the saving Swede continue his excellent efforts during the upcoming stretch, the Rampage will be tough to beat. The key to the Rampage success could be a thousand miles away — keeping Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen healthy, keeping Markstrom [with San Antonio] to ply his trade."

Why last night rocked:
- Colorado over Philadelphia, 3-2 (SO); it could have been worse, John. A lot worse.
- Boston over Montreal, 3-2 (REG); presumed NE champs increase conference lead as Habs continue treading water
Why last night jonesed:
- Los Angeles over Toronto, 3-2 (OT); Leafs fall to 0-3 in skillz comp, though gain a point in East
Why tonight is a Big Deal:
- Rangers at New Jersey, 7 p.m.
- Nashville at Washington, 7
- Chicago at Pittsburgh, 7:30
- Buffalo at Ottawa, 7:30
- Islanders at Winnipeg, 8:30
Next up for the Cats:
- Hosting Phoenix (16-13-3) tonight; give up the pump, oil, gasoline & the whole compound, and the LBC Game Thread will spare your lives at 7.
- Check out our inter-conference pals throughout the day at Five For Howling.
Did you know:
- Through Monday, the Panthers rank 15th in the league in goals-for per game (2.67) and 7th in goals-allowed (2.42). Digging deeper, Florida's GF/GA is a sterling 50/44 on the road, while the home record remains an area ripe for improvement at 38/36.
