We likely won’t know for at least a couple of years who “won” last week’s trade between the Florida Panthers and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
But the result of their game on Thursday night at the BB&T Center is clear — the Panthers won it 3-2 on Mike Matheson’s goal with 45.6 seconds left in overtime. Matheson also had an assist in regulation.
The game was played six days after the Panthers got Derek Brassard, Riley Sheahan and three draft picks. Pittsburgh received Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann.
On Thursday, McCann scored for Pittsburgh, which ended a Penguins drought of six consecutive periods without a goal.
