As the Florida Panthers took to the ice against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday February 22, they were looking to extend their win streak to 6 games, which would tie them with the Ottawa Senators, and put them 2 points back of the Montreal Canadiens, who held the Atlantic Division lead. But the Panthers came up just short, as they struggled to capitalize many, many times, and had to play from behind almost all game, which would cost them in the end.
two days later, Friday the 24th, the Cats looked to rebound with a win over the suddenly hot Calgary Flames, who are also in a tight playoff race, as they are battling for the two wild card spots in the Western Conference.
