Saturday quickie Caterwaul: Panthers early-start edition

With a 1 p.m. puck drop on tap in Newark, we'll get right to the meat of today's action: the Eastern Conference hasn't changed with any respect to Florida since Thursday (current standings as of Friday night), so here's the rundown on Matches That Matter to the Panthers:

• WPG (58P) at PIT (65P), 2 p.m.; not really stumped on this one
• EDM at OTW (63P), 2; less stumped on this one
• MTL at TOR (62P), 7; far less stumped here

Preview coming up later this morning, followed by the LBC Panthers vs Devils Game Thread at 12:30. Don't bother asking: completely agree this early afternoon deal is a ridiculous start time.
