The Panthers weren't ready for the jump that Atlanta had in the first period yesterday, and it put the Thrashers on top 1-0 and then 2-1, but three goals in the second period gave the Panthers the cushion that they needed to pick up the win.
Michael Frolik scored twice for the second time this season, improving his goal total to 17 and he was set up for a hat trick, but a broken stick kept that out of the plans. During the game though, a little trivia was dropped on Panther fans about rookies and goals in a game. Back in 1998 - before Pavel Bure - Mark Parrish became the first player in team history to score four goals in one game. At the time, he was a rookie, and that mark still stands.
With the win, the Cats improve to 33-23-8 and improve their total to 74 points and that's good for sixth in the East. One spot - and one point - ahead, are the Canadiens. Montreal, however, has played only 63 games while Florida has played in 64.
