FROESE TAKES OUT LEAFS AGAIN, PANTHER WIN 6-0

Last time these two teams met, Bob Froese got the start and recorded a 3-0 shutout. Tonight, he had double the offense and the same result by Froese, a 6-0 shutout. 

It was tight until the last two minutes of the first when Gilchrist recorded his 18th of the season. The second would see the Panthers add one more that frame, with Gilchrist (19), and Goulet his 27th. The third added to the theme as they would add 3 goals. Messier with his 29th, Tenzer with his 11th and then Messier again with his 30th, his 9th season recording at least 30. 

Bob Froese moved his record to 10-10-1 on the season, 9-5 since the move to Florida.

1st Star - Mark Messier - 2 goals, 3 points, +1, 6 shots, 5 hits
