Cats are back at it after a three-day layoff following Saturday’s win from Montreal. Taking on division rival Atlanta (5-4-2) for the first time this season, there aren’t more than a handful of current Panthers who have shown an exceptional ability to solve the Thrashers, though Tomas Vokoun‘s lifetime 11-7-2 (with 2 shutouts) continues to be the platform for any success. A sampling of notable skaters and their career numbers against the Blue Birds:
- David Booth 18gp 8g-5a-13p, +2
- Radek Dvorak 37gp 9g-11a-20p, +3
- Michael Frolik 12gp 5g-2a-7p, -1
- Bryan McCabe 38gp 7g-15a-22p, +19
- Steven Reinprecht 16gp 5g-7a-12p, even
- Cory Stillman 33gp 12g-14a-26p, -3
- Stephen Weiss 39gp 7g-14a-21p, +1
Conversely, a few Atlanta forwards have shown a consistent appetite for the Cats:
- Nik Antropov 31gp 12g-14a-26p, +6
- Dustin Byfuglien 4gp 2g-1a-3p, +1
- Ben Eager 8gp 4g-0a-4p, +3
- Fredrik Modin 36gp 10g-14a-24p, +9
And then there’s this guy, who will face his longtime former organization:
- Anthony Stewart (2010-11 road record): 7gp 4g-3a-7p, even
