Jose Theodore is happy to help rookie goalie Jacob Markstrom.
"My job is to help him, try to mentor him the best I can. I was really excited for him; he played some big games for us so it's great to see," he said. "I'm 35 years old. I've got to do a little bit extra to feel comfortable out there. At the same time I want to show Marky the right way, what you go to do to play in this league and be consistent, so I'm just trying to push him the best I can." Theodore and Markstrom have provided the Panthers with strong goaltending so far this campaign and they both have the confidence of coach Kevin Dineen. Look for them to continue to share starts until Scott Clemmensen is ready to return from injury.
