Jose Theodore (core injury) appeared to be fine during the team's morning skate on Monday, but the Panthers opted to start Jacob Markstrom against the Montreal Canadiens. Markstrom shined in the contest, making 40 saves in a 2-1 victory for his second straight win. However, coach Kevin Dineen doesn't believe his club is steering toward a goaltender controversy. "Theo's our starter and a great player," Dineen said. "He's going to get back in there soon. Jacob not only earned that start but earned that victory."
