Montreal Canadiens at Florida Panthers.

Back to back wins and a couple more goals then just 2 and suddenly the team looks alot better then it did a week or so ago. Montreal now have 4 players with more then 1 goal, but have only 8 guys that have scored a goal this season in 9 games.

Florida has a few key players to keep an eye on. RW Martin Babirad is a 2 way player who was named an NHL All-star last year. He has 1 goal and 3 points in 8 games this year, but had 31 goals and 74 points last year. Florida signed the 30 year to a 7 year $10.0 per deal last season. C Luke Tuin brings some youth to the line up. Tuin is only 20 years of age and is already a pretty good offensive threat while playing at both ends of the rink. He has 2 goals and 5 points this season, but had 18 goals and 56 points in his rookie season last year while maintaining a +11 rating. He had 85 points in his final season in the QMJHL in the 80-81 year. RD Zak Swain continues to be a useful player even at 39 years of age. Swain did put up 60 points in the 80-81 season for the Panthers, but injury limited him to just 47 games last year. He will become a UFA at the end of this season.

Montreal will still be without Ronnie Marvin today, RW Rob Lynch will play on the 3rd line in his place. Lynch has 1 assist so far this season in 9 games. Montreal will go with Mike Blackshear in net, he now has a .914 save % while the 3-4-1 Devils will have Rob Wolf between the pipes and his .909 save %.

Florida 5 Montreal 1

Florida only needed 2:36 and 2 shots to take an early 1-0 lead when veteran RD Zak Swain scored. They scored on their next shot as well just 5 minutes into the game to make it 2-0. Zak Swain got his 3rd of the season just past the 12 minute mark and it is 3-0 on just 7 shots by Florida. Montreal does get a goal with just under 5 minutes remaining in the period, Dave Lyon with his 1st of the year as the 4th line strikes for the Canadiens. The period ends with the Panthers leading 3-1 despite getting outshot by Montreal 10 to 7.

There was no scoring in the 2nd period, but the Panthers did out shoot Montreal 11 to 8. So far both teams are 0 for 2 on the PP.

Florida adds another with just under 6 minutes into the 3rd, RD Zak Swain on queue completes the hattie with his 3rd of the game and 4th of year. The Panthers make it 5-0 near the mid point of the period. Well so much for a little momentum gained the last few games as well get spanked in Florida 5-1.

Panthers RD Zak Swain of course was named the 1st star with his 3 goals. He now has 4 goals and 5 points in 9 games this year.
