 2. Jose Continues To Stand Tall: Jose Theodore was tested early and he was tested often by the visitors. The Senators threw up 16 shots in the opening 20 minutes and only a long range bomb from defenseman Chris Phillips beat the Panthers netminder. Then in the second, he made an acrobatic save only to see his team not clear the puck and Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson pick off the pass, skate in and roof it over his glove hand. With the game on the line in the third, he was called upon to stop a penalty shot by Guillaume Latendresse and he did so giving his team a chance to tie the game. The Panthers netminder has been on in all three games he's played in but in two of them, he just hasn't gotten the help. 3. Not Able To Convert On Chances: Florida had their chances on the Senators and netminder Craig Anderson. Yes they were limited to 25 shots but they had several quality opportunities to bury the puck and tie the game or take the lead. On one occasion, Alex Kovalev intercepted an Anderson pass and had a wide open net. Instead, Anderson raced back and slid and made the stop. On another one, Kovalev put on some puck handling skills to pull the defense and Anderson out of the net, leaving Scottie Upshall all open with another open net. He put it wide. Jonathan Huberdeau had a fantastic opportunity off a nice offensive move to find himself all alone with Anderson but put the puck into the goalies pads. Chance after chance the Panthers had but they just couldn't bury them. That was the difference as the Sens converted on just one more opportunity as it dropped the Panthers in their third straight loss. |

 Memorable fan posts from the game.
Stefano Paz: Theodore = awesome. The rest of the team needs to kick it up a notch. Kristie Cummings: Theodore was the only one on his game tonight...we played sloppy and this is what happens when you play like this... Roger Engström: That sucks. They need to get into the game! This is a short season and 1 win and 3 losses is not good enough. Get your self together and play like a team next time...... Jay H. Schults: Awful. Three in a row. 11 goals allowed in those three. Patrick McAvaney: Where's the team that played Saturday night?! No energy! |

 4. Picking up an assist on the Panthers lone goal, Brian Campbell registered his team-leading fourth point of the season. All of his points have come via the power play. |
