Why last night rocked:
- NJ over WSH, 5-0; Parise scores hat trick as Neuvirth stops 15. Ovie: 1 SOG
- CHI over OTW, 2-1 (REG); Karlsson's eight-game point streak halted
Why last night jonesed:
- TB over NYR, 4-3 (OT); Bolts now 6-2 in last eight
Panthers Playoff Update:
- FLA did not play; playoff odds up 1.4 to 82.2% per Sports Club Stats
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
Focusing on clubs within 6 points of Panthers (72P); teams FLA needs to lose in bold…
- BUF (66P) at VAN, 10 p.m.; stretching a bit here, but the Sabres have been impressive of late by going 5-0-2 in past seven
Next up for the Cats:
- Hosting Nashville this evening; LBC Game Thread gets rocking at 7. Before then take a look at the consistent goodness being churned out by On The Forecheck and Preds On The Glass.
Did you know:
- The Cats snapped a three-game losing streak vs Nashville stretching back to '09 vs on January 11, 2011; tonight's potential starter Scott Clemmensen picked up the 3-2 victory in regulation from Sunrise. The Preds are expected to go with well-rested Pekka Rinne, who is 0-2 lifetime vs Florida.
Friday’s Organizational News:
- Rampage D Tyson Strachan is "back in sunny Florida". Pretty certain he hasn't been loaned to the Everblades. Nothing further as of early this morning.
- The official site has been updated with this. At least it's not guaranteeing anything. Yet.
And worth mentioning...
- The Maple Leafs canned head coach Ron Wilson Friday night, reportedly to be replaced by former Ducks bench boss Randy Carlyle. Tears continue to flow out of Toronto.
