Patric Hornqvist batted the rebound of Aaron Ekblad’s shot out of the air and into the net with less than three seconds remaining in regulation and then scored the winning goal in the fifth round of the shootout, beating Joonas Korpisalo glove side with a wicked wrister, to give the Florida Panthers a 4-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Cats first road win of the season gave the team its first-ever 3-0 start in franchise history.
Playing for the first time in a a week, the Panthers spotted the Blue Jackets, who scored on its first two shots, an early lead.
