NASHVILLE–Goals by Quinten Howden and Jonathon Huberdeau were enough for the Florida Panthers to snag a 2-1 victory over the Nashville Predators. Florida goalie Roberto Luongo saved 32 of 33 shots to raise his record to 10-8-3. The Panthers 12-9-4 play at Columbus Friday night.
Roman Josi scored for Nashville off a long deflection, and Pekka Rinne saved 14 of 16 shots but had a lot of help from his team who blocked many attempts by the Panthers.

Following Friday night’s game at Columbus, the Panthers finish their five-game road trip Sunday in New Jersey. Their first home game in December will be Tuesday vs. Ottawa at BB&T Center. It will be the first of two visits by the Senators to Fort Lauderdale this month. Six of the Panthers last 10 games this month will be at home. Other teams visiting South Florida this month include Washington, Vancouver, Columbus and Montreal and the Panthers have some great gift and ticket packages available at http://www.floridapanthers.com.
Jaromir Jagr was held without a point for the third straight game, his longest drought since joining the Panthers. Heading into the weekend he sits at 730 goals, one shy of tying Marcel Dionne for fourth all time. For the season Jagr still leads the Panthers in scoring with 8 goals and 10 assists for 18 points. He is one of 10 Panthers with 10 or more points through 25 games. Jagr missed two of those games to injury and has played others at less than 100%.
NHL.com reported that entering Thursday’s game Jagr is outscoring 88% of the league’s forwards this season:

Some Jagr-related social media accounts:
@68Jagr This is the real site, the one and only official Jaromir Jagr twitter account. Postings are rare.
The two best Jagr facebook pages are: https://www.facebook.com/68Jagr/ This is the page Jagr posts on, if he is going to post at all.
Another good facebook page is one produced by someone in the Czech Republic. It has more than 100,000 likes. This is not the official page, but it is very good.

@68isgr8 is the twitter for The Traveling Jagrs. Clad in different Jagr jerseys and hair styles from 68’s career, they gained league-wide recognition when they caught Jagr’s attention during a pre-game skate of a Dallas Stars game in Canada during the 2012-2013 season. Since then, they convene at games in Western Canada and make a road trip or two every year, playing street hockey with locals, posing for hundreds of pictures, and having a good time with fans while honoring an all-time NHL legend.
