PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

The Florida Panthers’ morning skate might just change things, but George Richards reports that Jose Theodore looks primed to start for the Cats, who could clinch a playoff spot and the Southeast Division title with a point or more. If that isn’t juicy enough, note that Theo is just two seasons removed from being a Washington Capitals goalie - the team he’s facing tonight. (On Frozen Pond)

Meanwhile, the Habs are contacting other possible general manager candidates, such as Sidney Crosby’s agent Pat Brisson. (TSN)

After watching another shaky outing from Marty Turco, the Boston Bruins might as well shuffle out the scrubs in net, right? Feel free to discuss Antonin Khudobin’s status as a scrub or not in the comments, as Barbara Matson reports that he might be the next guy to get a start in their goalie roulette. (Bruins blog)
