Was Friday's shutout victory in Buffalo a simple anomaly or the start of a confidence-fueled rise to respectability? The Caps are no Sabres but the quality of competition should make for a fascinating peek at what the Panthers are truly made of.
Al Montana sees his first start in Florida's net while the world finally gets its fix of Brandon Pirri in his season debut, centering Sean Bergenheim and Tomas Fleischmann, per @hfialkov. Whatever strategy is necessary in waking Flash from the dead receives a thumbs-up from me.
