"It would be nice to keep everyone here and not having to wholesale guys out or trade your buddies. If we can add a piece here or there without breaking up the group we have, without destroying the chemistry, that would be the best-case scenario."
- Panthers forward Stephen Weiss; more on Florida's options regarding the steadily approaching trade deadline via the Sun-Sentinel/Berardino.

Why last night rocked:
- CAR over WSH, 5-0; Peters: 17 saves for first NHL shutout. Canes 5-1-2 over last eight
Why last night jonesed:
- OTW over NYI, 6-0; Andy: 28 saves for 19th NHL shutout. Sens have outscored opponents 16-2 in past three games
Panthers Playoff Update:
- FLA did not play; playoff odds down 2.9 to 66.8% per Sports Club Stats (yes it makes sense; click through and hit "Explain")
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
Teams FLA needs to lose in bold…
- NJ at TOR (64P), 7 p.m.; five losses and an OT win in past six for Leafs
- PHI at WPG (64P), 7; Jets outscored Flyers 17-13 in 2011-12, can sweep (!) the series with win tonight
Next up for the Cats:
- Thursday at home vs Minnesota; LBC Game Thread goes live at 7
Did you know:
- The Panthers have found themselves in shorthanded situations 174 times in 2011-12, good for third-fewest in the league, so far having allowed 33 goals while scoring 4. Overall Florida is ranked 22nd with an 81% success rate.
Monday’s Organizational News:
- F Matt Bradley out (concussion?); recall coming soon
Monday’s NHL Transactions:
- None
