 CORY STILLMANLooking for offense from the Cats? Look no further than veteran winger Cory Stillman. Stillman has put up impressive numbers over the past seven games, recording nine points, including all five of his goals on the season. Dating back to October 31st, Stillman has recorded points in eight of the nine contests while recording multi-point games three times. The one game he didn't score? He just netted the game-winner in the shootout. |
 RYAN MILLERRyan Miller is making an impressive case to start for the US at the Olympics. The Buffalo netminder has a league best 1.77 goals against average while posting an equally impressive 12-2-1 record. That start has helped Buffalo to third in the conference early on. Last week, Miller was named the third star of the week winning all three contests while allowing four goals. |

 A Simple Road First: The Panthers didn't have much success in the first against Buffalo when they were in Sunrise (allowing five goals in the opening 20). The Cats need to keep it simple the second time around, especially since it's being played in a voistorous HSBC Arena. Limit the mistakes and capitalize. |

 Win Five-on-Five Play: Teams will get their power play chances. It's just the nature of the game. Where this game might be decided is in the five-on-five battle. Buffalo is third in the league in five-on-five scoring differential (1.35). Florida on the other hand is 27th (.74). |
