The ‘Cardiac Cats’ finally made an appearance in the Florida Panthers shocking 4-3 comeback win over the Boston Bruins at FLA Live Arena in the local team’s final game before the All-Star break.
After David Pastrnak came off the bench to score a long-range goal through traffic, from Matt Grzelcyk and David Krejci, with 49 seconds left in regulation, it looked the Panthers were heading to yet another frustrating defeat in a season filled with frustration.
Not so fast. The Cats pulled goaltender Alex Lyon and tied the game at 19:57 when Aleksander Barkov fired in a rebound after Matthew Tkachuk fed Aaron Ekblad and his attempt to get the puck towards the net was blocked by Brandon Carlo.
