[Flyers GM] Paul Holmgren said there are no new updates for the team's four injured players. Jaromir Jagr and Zac Rinaldo are day-to-day. None of the four has a chance to play tonight. Danny Briere (above) is the only one who flew to Florida with the team - and that's because his father is along on the trip. James van Riemsdyk, out since Jan. 14, has not yet resumed skating.

Why last night rocked:
- CAR over WPG, 2-1 (REG); kinda big, as Jets outshoot Canes 30-16
- LA over OTW, 4-1; Kings' Clifford: goal, assist, fight, 3 SOG. Fantasy gold.
Why last night jonesed:
- TOR over NYI, 3-0; Lombardi's two goals more than enough for Leafs
Panthers Playoff Update:
- FLA did not play; playoff odds up 0.4 to 75.1% per Sports Club Stats
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
- BOS at WSH, 7 p.m.; Broons 6-4-1-1 in D.C. since lockout
- WPG at NYR, 7; Rags are 6-1-1 at home in last eight
- BUF at NJ, 7; Sabres have lost 11 straight on the road
- TOR at NYI, 7; anyone care to vote against Kessel getting a point or three?
- CBJ at TB, 7:30; Bolts shooting for fourth-straight victory (picked a good night for it)
- PIT at STL, 8; Pens looking for seventh victory in as many tries
- OTW at PHX, 9; Sens are 6-1 over Yotes in last seven meetings
Next up for the Cats:
- Tonight vs Philadelphia; the LBC Game Thread plays a Slazenger One at 7 p.m.
Did you know:
Noticed in the last Game Thread that not everyone in the LBC community has discovered the "Wide" screen format editor. Utilizing this feature dramatically alters and improves the look & user-friendliness of the site. It's that big of a deal. Just head to the top of the page, look to the right, and click "Wide" in the grey box. This will now be the default view anytime you log in :)
Monday’s Organizational Transactions:
- D Tyson Strachan recalled; replaces Dmitry Kulikov (surgery Monday, out 6-8 weeks)
