Numbers to Know

12-3-1: At 12-3-1 (25 points), the Canes have matched the franchise-best start through 16 games. You can probably guess which season it was (2005-06), and we all know how that season ended.

16: Three players - Trocheck, Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho - are tied for the team lead in points. All three players found the scoresheet on Saturday, and Svechnikov (1g, 1a) and Aho (1g, 1a) had multi-point performances.

2: The Lightning were not shut out once during their 70-game 2019-20 regular season and their 25-game run to the Stanley Cup. They've already been shut out twice in 15 games this season, both by the Canes.

1: Teuvo Teravainen missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury. After the game, Brind'Amour provided this update on Teravainen's injury: "I'm hoping it's not going to be too long, but it's going to be a couple games for sure."

Interesting, One week in the AHL? Wonder if we are making another roster move?

Could be. Also could be Rod doing more taxi squad churning to keep everybody in rink shape.

Honestly, after the shutout, I wanted to see Ned get the start tonight. But, oh well, King Of The Autobots it is.

True but they were hawking him on the behind the net stuff pretty good last game. Half a step more and they would have gotten a couple on an empty net. Think its good to keep them guessing this series.

[Harbingers]

Tampa bay coming out hungry. We gotta step it up.

[Harbingers]

Holy poo Reimer is like bungy. He's been stretched every direction all game.

I agree with you on most stuff but the shots they have had already if Ned was in we would be down.... he was super lucky to get that shutout.

[TrevorLaurenceTime22]

Reimer with 10 saves in 12 minutes....

Boooom

Oh man Tampa Bay is playing hard. Glad we got one there. Good on ya Fast!
