 2. Flash's Efforts: Tomas Fleischmann has gotten off to a solid start with the Panthers. Heading into the night, the winger posted points in four straight games and seven points in 10 games. Against the Jets, he almost single handedly beat them as he had a hand in all three goals, including what should have been the game-winner on a power play snipe with just 2:10 remaining in regulation. Fleischmann registered the second assist on Garrison's goal in the first and then tied it on a backhand into the open net 3:13 into the third. His second of the night was a thing of beauty as he walked around a Jets player (or two) and went top shelf for his fifth of the season. 3. Another Tough Loss: Two games after falling to the Senators thanks to a winner in the final five seconds, the Panthers were denied two points as the Jets tied it up with 49.9 seconds left on the clock. After a scoreless overtime, Winnipeg took it in the shootout, scoring twice in the one-on-one session (Andrew Ladd, Wellwood) while the Panthers were blanked by Pavelec. It was the second shootout of the season (October 15 against Tampa Bay) but the first loss. What made the loss so hard to swallow was that the equalizer (Kane's second of the night) was initially waved off vehemently by the one referee on the ice for being knocked in with a high stick before the second referee overruled him. The play went to review and Toronto deemed it a good goal, thus tying the score at three and sending it to a shootout. |

 Memorable fan posts from the game.
Thomas Ouillette: Sad to lose the SO after all the effort tonight. Jets got lucky with Pavelec in net. They surely didn't earn nor deserve the two points. Mark Zola: Uuuggghhh 2 minutes and It wouldve been OVER! Just end the games right! Jeez! Andreas Bergh: They´ve gotta learn to finish games off if they wanna make the playoff. |

 1. It took just one shot for the Jets to get on the board as Kyle Wellwood scored on the rush just 3:44 into the game. The Panthers on the other hand had peppered Ondrej Pavelec with five shots on net. 5. Tomas Fleischmann has found his groove. With his three-point effort against the Jets, the forward has stretched his point streak to five games (4-3-7). It's his longest poinst streak since a nine-game streak with Washington (7-4-11, 10/30-11/17/09). 18. The Panthers had contributions from everybody, at least on the shot count as every single skater registered at least one shot on net. Leading the way were forward Tomas Fleischmann and defenseman Jason Garrison. For Fleischmann, it tied a career high in shots while the six shots set a new career high for Garrison. 20. Florida put up a season-high 20 shots on net in the opening period (eclipsing the previous mark of 15 set in the second period against Tampa Bay on October 15). The 20 also comes into play in the amount of seconds left on the clock when Jason Garrison scored in the first period to put the Panthers on the board. 568. It was a milestone game for Stephen Weiss as the center moved into third place on the franchise list of games played. The center, who recorded the first assist on Fleischmann's first goal of the night, was tied coming into the game with Olli Jokinen. He now sits behind just two players; Robert Svehla (573) and Radek Dvorak (613). |
