The Panthers reel off their fifth straight win, and their 11th in 14 contests with yet another shootout heartstopper.
Lately it seems, all the Panthers do is win. It took over 65 minutes to get it done on Tuesday's home tilt against the invading Ottawa Senators, but Brandon Pirri and Aleksander Barkov scored in the shootout, while Roberto Luongo turned aside all the shots he needed to for Florida's fifth straight win.
First Period
The Panthers narrowly missed opening the scoring twice in the first five minutes, first when Vincent Trocheck missed the net by just inches on a give-and-go opportunity, then when Jonathan Huberdeau sliced the biscuit just over the net from point blank.
