Why last night rocked:
Didn't exactly "rock", but could have been worse...
- PHI over WPG, 5-4 (OT); FLA's 4 games-in-hand on Jets can prove the difference in April if Cats can tidy up their current woes
- NJ over TOR, 4-3 (OT); Devils: winners of 7 straight on road as Leafs sputter with 1-5-1 overall record in past seven
Why last night jonesed:
- Unthinkable just a week ago, conference bottom-feeders all within 8 points of Panthers as BUF and TB gain victories Tuesday; Florida has played fewer games than everyone
Panthers Playoff Update:
- FLA did not play; playoff odds up 0.3 to 67% per Sports Club Stats
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
Teams FLA needs to lose in bold…
- WSH at OTW, 7 p.m.; despite stellar recent record, Sens are 1-3-2 over past six in Kanata
Next up for the Cats:
- Tomorrow at home vs Minnesota; LBC Game Thread drops the hammer at 7
Did you know:
- In 17 career games against the Wild, D Brian Campbell is 1-9-10 with a plus-11 & 29 SOG
Tuesday’s Organizational News:
- Making the case for San Antonio G (and non-Panthers prospect) Dov-Grumet Morris
Tuesday’s NHL Transactions:
- TB sends F Matt Fornataro to CHI for F Brandon Segal
- TB sends D Kyle Quincey to DET for D Sebastien Piche & 1st rd-pick ('12)
- TB sends F Steve Downie to COL for D Kyle Quincy
