NHL Daily Quick Fix: Coaching Change Can't Fix The Panthers

The Florida Panthers are no better off under their new coach then they were under the old one. Atlanta scores a pair of power play goals and a pair of shorthanded goals to beat the Panthers 6-3 on Friday. The NHL's youngest team has two wins and four losses since GM Rick Dudley took over from Mike Keenan behind the bench. The Thrashers' Ilya Kovalchuk picks up a goal and two assists in the victory, re-taking the NHL scoring lead with 27 points. In other Friday games:

The New Jersey Devils are quietly working on an 11-game unbeaten streak after a 2-1 overtime win against Pittsburgh. Patrick Elias scores both Devils' goals. Despite the loss, the desperate Penguins pick up a huge point when Dick Tarnstrom forces overtime by scoring a power play goal with 27 left in the third period.

Stars win! The seven-game winless streak is over for Dallas, after a 3-1 defeat of Los Angeles.

Two goals and an assist for J-P Dumont and a shutout for Mika Noronen as Buffalo walks over Carolina 5-0.

Two San Jose goalies share a shutout in Phoenix. Evgeni Nabokov leaves with a groin injury, so Vesa Toskala finishes the job as the Sharks beat the Coyotes 5-0.

The overtime magic has evaporated for Anaheim. Scott Hartnell scores the OT winner to deliver Nashville a 4-3 win over the Mighty Ducks. Six of Anaheim's last eight games have gone into overtime. They have lost four of them.
