Morning playoff check-up

The Panthers leapfrogged the Habs into fifth place last night while the Hurricanes joined the top eight. Carolina has scored 20 goals over a three-game win streak. Be afraid.

I like the recap. It's nice to have all the info together like that.

I have one suggestion for it though. I'd add something that would give readers an idea of how each team is playing - either a "Last 10" or "streak" (i.e. W2, L3) or maybe even both.
