The Florida Panthers trailed twice before reeling off five straight goals, two into an empty net, to dispatch the Chicago Blackhawks by a 6-3 count and climb to the top of the NHL heap with 42 points and a game in hand on the New York Islanders, the only other team with that number.
Florida fell behind 10:38 into the first when Patrick Kane and David Kampf doggedly pressured Anthony Duclair into a turnover that Kampf quickly dropped back to Kane, who zipped the puck into the net to end a six-game goalless drought.
