The Florida Panthers kicked off it’s three-game, north of the border trip with a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre.
Newcomers Claude Giroux, Ben Chiarot and Robert Hagg all got on the scoresheet with Giroux picking up two assists while Chiarot and Hagg each collected a helper.
Jonathan Huberdeau was called for roughing twenty seconds into the game and the Canadiens made the Panthers pay nine seconds later when Cole Caufield took a pass from Chris Wideman and then snapped a cross over to Nick Suzuki, who moved in from the right point and beat Spencer Knight with a wrister.
