Aleksander Barkov scored the first and last goals and a dialed-in Sergei Bobrovsky made 37 saves to lead the Florida Panthers to 4-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Jonathan Huberdeau set an NHL record for a left wings with his 71st assist of the season, with the primary helper on Barkov’s second of the night, a one-timer from the right circle, which came with 6:13 remaining in the game and the Cats enjoying a two-man advantage. Sam Reinhart drew the secondary assist on the historic marker, his second helper of the night.
After having a goal disallowed 41 seconds into the first, Barkov bulled his way to cage and finished on the backhand to open the scoring with 1:36 left in the frame.
