SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Roberto Luongo and the Florida Panthers each got a much-needed win.
Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau scored in the shootout and the Panthers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Florida snapped a three-game losing streak and won at home for the first time in five games.
Roberto Luongo stopped both Carolina skaters in the shootout after making 23 saves in just his third start in seven games. Luongo was mired in a slump and got just his fourth win in 11 games.
“Maybe it wasn’t as beautiful as we wanted it to be, but we got the job done and we scored some big goals in the shootout,” Luongo said.
