The Panthers have played the defending Stanley Cup champions even through three periods three times this season.

Before Saturday night's game vs. the Florida Panthers, the slumping Evgeni Malkin guaranteed that he would score in this one.

One game turned into two, two into three, three into a thousand, or so it seemed to Radek Dvorak.

This was the best chance the Panthers would get to score and Coach Pete DeBoer knew it.

Forced to settle for one point, Panthers coach Pete DeBoer managed a smile Monday night after yet another game ended in a shootout.

Keith Ballard knocked a second NHL goalie out of action within a week, only this time he got a face full of knuckles from Avalanche captain Adam Foote for it.

At least this time the Panthers ' meltdown didn't come in just the third period.

TV/radio: FSN; WAXY-790. The series: Washington leads 40-38-9. The game: The Capitals won the first two meetings of the season by a combined 11-5 score.

Washington's Alex Ovechkin, centre, is helped off the ice after injuring his knee on Monday.

Keith Ballard was too devastated to talk. He shook his head no, and walked out of the visitors' dressing room without a word.

The Panthers waived Ville Koistinen on Wednesday, and when he cleared on Thanksgiving morning, he said he would stay on the active roster for the time being.

J.P. Dumont and David Legwand scored early in the third period, and Dan Ellis made 23 saves to help the Nashville Predators beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Saturday night.

The Panthers couldn't hold leads of 2-0, 3-2 and 4-3 against the Maple Leafs. 'It's a tough one to swallow,' coach Pete DeBoer said.
