By no means did the Florida Panthers get off to a good start. they went a goal down early in the first and conceded early in the second.
But they did manage to turn things around in a matter of six minutes, with goals coming from Evgeni Dadonov, Aleksander Barkov, and Jonathan Huberdeau. The trio gave the Cats their first and only lead of the night.
However, it wouldn’t be your beloved Panthers without a collapse of some sort. Like the first two periods, the Canes added an early goal in the third, courtesy of Justin Faulk.
