Jaromir Jagr moves past Marcel Dionne with 732nd goal
After throwing a defensive blanket over their last three opponents, the Florida Panthers were in a much more giving mood upon returning to the BB&T Center on Sunday to open the annual Holiday Homestand. Fortunately, Aleksander Barkov rescued the Cats with another glorious shootout winner to give his club a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
The Canucks struck first on Jannik Hansen's redirection of an Alex Biega shot at 6:32 of the opening period. Jared McCann beat Erik Gudbranson to a puck behind the net and fed Biega for the initial drive that Hansen tipped by Roberto Luongo.
