The Florida Panthers are the hottest team on ice after beating the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 last night in Sunrise for their 12th straight win overall! That ties a franchise record for the Cats and also gave them the Atlantic division title after Toronto lost at the Lightning.

The Florida Panthers are Atlantic Division champions and have clinched the best record in the Eastern Conference.
