Over the last 24 hours, the Florida Panthers had played some of the best hockey we’ve seen out of them all year. Obviously, it was going to be difficult for them to replicate this in Nashville, traveling for a back-to-back. But the Panthers fared okay…
Four minutes in the opening frame on the power play and defenseman Aaron Ekblad opened up the scoring with an absolute laser beam. Vinnie Trocheck provided him with a beautiful tee up.
It wasn’t long after until the Panthers found a second.
