Give credit to Panthers netminder Tomas Vokoun. The score could've easily been 6 or 7-1 had he not played so well.
Paul Ranger [10] continues to quietly evolve in the role of #1 defenseman with Dan Boyle out.
Mike Lundin [14] was -1 in 11:13 with 1 blocked shot.
Mathieu Darche [15] was back in the lineup after being scratched for three games and played 9:06 with 1 shot and 3 hits. His energy is noticable whenever he's on the rink.
