Thursday Caterwaul: Panthers Open Forum
Three: the number of goals by which the Panthers' Jason Garrison (11) leads the rest of the league's defensemen. His 7 power play markers are one less than the total individual goal output of runners-up Nick Lidstrom, Niklas Kronwall, and (now injured) Shea Weber.
