112 - Julien is a former coach of the Panthers' Radim Vrbata, when the Czech forward was in Junior. Vrbata was coached by the Habs skipper from 1998-2000 with the QMJHL's Hull Olympiques, for 112 games in all.
1 - Paul Byron's early third-period goal was overturned following a coach's challenge by the Panthers. Upon review, it was determined there was goaltender interference on Florida netminder Roberto Luongo. The goal would've reduced the Panthers' lead to 4-1.
6:55 - Rinat Valiev, playing in only his second game in a Habs uniform, left the game with a lower-body injury and did not return. The 22-year-old rearguard skated for 6:55 against the Panthers and registered a shot and blocked shot on the night.
