Ghosts of Panthers Past
=============================

Former Panther/prospect Brad Smyth, now with the AHL Manchester Monarchs, has been named the recipient of the CCM/AHL Milestone of the Month award for November. Smith became the 40th player in the history of the AHL to reach 600 career points when he scored a first-period goal at Lowell on Nov. 20. He has 22 points (7g-15a) in 20 games for Manchester giving him 603 points (299g-304a) in 550 career AHL games. He is the leading career scorer among active AHL players (38th) and with his next goal will become only the 17th player in league history to score 300 career AHL goals.
