UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- There's a new Panther in town, and his name is Shawn Matthias.
The Panthers are light at center, and Matthias is on the way to help out. He's been recalled from Rochester and should be with the team in Long Island tonight and probably in the lineup tomorrow.
Matthias has three goals with an assist for the Americans in 34 games. Matthias has played in 10 games with the Panthers this season, recording an assist.
-- Panthers are trying to win their franchise record eighth December game. They've been stuck on seven since beating Nashville prior to the Christmas break. Islanders, on the other hand, have won once this month.
They beat Toronto on Friday, folks here started talking about them turning around their season but they've lost two more since then. And Rick DiPietro had another setback. Not a fun season on the island.
You guys can keep him!! I'm a fan of his (even bought our kid a Matthias jersey), Shawn just seems like he'll do much better learning in the NHL than this mess in Rochester.

That montreal game was a disappointment. Team worked hard but Habs worked harder... Games like that one and the afternoon game with Islanders are the reason I bought NhlCenterIce...The French studio team mentioned Rangers fans still yell Potvin sucks and laughed that was about all I understood... pretty funny. Have Happy New Year...
