Rookie blueliner Erik Gudbranson paced all players with 5 hits Tuesday. A career-high 20:08 TOI (in 25 shifts) against the Flyers smashed his average of 14:37 in the month of January, a by-product of long-term injuries recently sustained by Ed Jovanovski and Dmitry Kulikov.

Why last night rocked:
- NYR over WPG, 3-0; Callahan’s goal/assist duo enough to halt Jets as Henrik stops 22
- BUF over NJ, 2-1 (SO); Brodeur continues polishing legacy with 13 saves
- PHX over OTW, 3-2 (REG); Turris: no points, 1 SOG in return to Glendale/
Why last night jonesed:
- WSH over BOS, 5-3; In absence of Ovi and Backstrom, someone named Mathieu Perrault nailed hat trick for Caps
- PIT over STL, 3-2 (SO); Pens win seventh straight as Blues’ Elliott stops 37
- TOR over NYI, 4-3 (OT); MacArthur scores twice in comeback victory/
Why tonight is a (very semi-) Big Deal in SoFla:
- DET at MTL, 7:30 p.m.; Wings have outscored Habs 35-19 since 1995-96, going 7-3 in ten games from Montreal/
Panthers Playoff Update:
- FLA lost to PHI 2-3 (SO); playoff odds down 0.6 to 74.6% per Sports Club Stats/
Next up for the Cats:
- Hosting Washington on Wednesday, February 1st, 7:30 p.m./
Next LBC Live Thread:
- Tomorrow night for the NHL ALL-Star Fantasy Draft (NBC-SN); we’ll be live at 7:30/
Did you know:
- Heading into last season’s All-Star Break the Panthers were 22-22-5 (49P); closed out the year out with an 8-18-7 (23P) record, prompted in large part by a monumental dumping of contracts at the trade deadline./
Tuesday’s Organizational Transactions:
- None/
