Last night in Montreal with the Canadiens being officially out of the Playoff race (sitting in 15th in the East with 72 points), the Habs are now spoilers. Going into this game the Panthers (3rd in the East) sat at the top of the Southeast divison with 87 points, just 3 points ahead of the Capitals (who sit in 2nd in the division and 9th in the Conference with 84 points). So it was a big game for the Panthers. Wolski opened the scoring for the Panthers before Eric Cole tied the game on the powerplay just over a minute later. That was Coles career high, 31st goal of the season. Then late in the second, LeBlanc had a breakaway and he scored to make it 2-1 Habs lead.
13 minutes into the third, Samuelsson tied the game with a goal from the point. So this game would go to a shootout. Wolski would score the loan goal in the shootout as the Panthers win 3-2 and are now 5 points ahead of the Capitals."Let's not kid ourselves, I think we're a doing that right now on both sides of the ledger," Dineen said. "Everybody's looking at what's happening around the league."That was a nice win for us. And I give Buffalo credit. That's a team that was counted out three weeks ago and it's amazing the difference."
