Joe Thornton's groin issue isn't deemed serious enough to keep him out of the lineup tonight. Also expect to see Tomas Plihal on the ice tonight after missing the last four games due to that dreaded lower body injury. (Just once don't you wish an NHL team would come out and say what an injury actually is? But I digress.) Brad Staubitz figures to be a healthy scratch, thus greatly reducing the possibility of any fisticuffs unless it behooves Jody Shelley -- providing of course he is in the mood to be behooved -- to drop the gloves should any given member of the Panthers be so inclined. Given that to date Florida has had a whopping two fighting majors in six games, probably not going to happen.
