During the [second intermission], DeBoer implored his players to avoid the meltdowns they’ve encountered in previous third periods. “We talked between the second and third about having a mind-set that we were going to go out and take over the game.”
- The Star-Ledger's Rich Chere. And that they did.

Why last night rocked:
All together now: no overtime!
- NYR over PIT, 3-1
- CAR over BUF, 4-2
- ANH over NYI, 4-2
Why last night jonesed:
Never appearing completely comfortable, Alien was a somewhat less-than-stellar 24-for-27 in his return to NHL ice, on a night when his club badly needed the all-important Big Save
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
This whole "rooting for the opposition" thing supremely sucks, but we're all about the Sabres and Sharks this evening
- VAN at BOS, 1 p.m.
- OTW at PHI, 1
- WPG at BUF, 7
- DET at TOR, 7
- TB at MTL, 7
- NJ at PIT, 7
- CAR at NSH, 8
- NYI at PHX, 8
- WSH at SJ, 10:30
Next up for the Cats:
Hosting VAN Monday; the LBC Game Thread identifies itself as Frieda's boss at 7
Did you know:
FLA is now 3-10 at NJ since 2005-06, with a frightening 24GF and 44GA
On the table:
Nothing's hotter at the moment than this chess match:
