From the Nothing To Do With The Above Photo department: Having spent better than six seasons in the Western Conference, Panthers winger Mikael Samuelsson's 16 previous trips to the Pepsi Center have been statistically profitable, collecting 14 points (5G), a plus-6, and 4 assists on the man-advantage at the home of the Avalanche.

Why last night rocked:
- NYI over WSH, 3-0; 2 goals for Parenteau as Isles stuff Caps in D.C.
- NJ over WPG, 5-1; Sykora, Clarkson, Elias, Foster all plus-3
- OTW over TOR, 3-2 (REG); Turris, Alfredsson with 1G/1A
- TB over BOS, 5-3; pair by Bolts Overlord Horts not enough to salvage state sweep
Why last night jonesed:
- PIT over CAR, 2-1 (SO); Neal with the Skillz Komp winner
- NYR over NSH, 3-0; plus-3s for Girardi and McDonagh
- PHI over MIN, 5-1; Jagr, Read each 2A as Wild continue slide to 8th spot in West
Panthers Playoff Update:
- SCS has not recently updated; will link when complete
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla (beyond the obvious):
- WSH at MTL, 7:30 p.m.; Caps are winners of last two at Bell Centre (and a shutout loser at home vs the Isles last night)
Next up for the Cats:
- Tonight from Colorado; the LBC Game Thread learned a very important lesson today: never shop east of Beverly Hills...before 9.
Did you know:
- Panthers have never lost to Avs on a Wednesday in Denver (2 ties & 1 regulation win, that lone victory coming on November 17, 1999...the last such meeting).
Tuesday’s Organizational Transactions:
- To FLA: Jose Theodore, G (off IR)
- To SAR: Brian Foster, G
Tuesday’s NHL Waiver Wire
- None
OT: Please help us stop SOPA before it's too late...
- Google petition
- Wiki petition
- SB Nation's position on the bill
