Steven Stamkos scored a goal and set up three others as the Tampa Bay Lightning exposed the Florida Panthers defensive issues in a 7-3 win that dropped the Cats back to NHL .500 at 8-8-3.
After spotting Ottawa’s Matt Duchene an early breakaway goal on Monday, the Panthers allowed the same thing to happen last night, as rookie Mathieu Joseph stole the puck from Alex Petrovic in the neutral zone and broke in on Roberto Luongo before slipping the puck between his pads at the 59-second mark.
