- Nathan MacKinnon recorded three primary assists and an awarded empty-net goal for his second straight four-point game.
- Scott Wedgewood started and made 25 saves with Mackenzie Blackwood out for the road trip on injured reserve.
- Coach Jared Bednar had not named a starter for the quick-turn matchup in Florida, leaving open whether Wedgewood goes again or Trent Miner gets the nod.
