SUNRISE (CBSMiami/AP) — The Florida Panthers are getting hot at the right time.
Aleksander Barkov scored twice, including the go-ahead goal late in the second period, to lead Florida past the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Jamie McGinn also scored for the Panthers. Harri Sateri made 26 saves for his fourth consecutive win.
Markus Granlund scored for the Canucks, and Jacob Markstrom stopped 37 shots.
Barkov gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead with 3:52 left in the second. He corralled a loose puck in the high slot, skated in and sent a backhand off Markstrom’s pad and into the net.
