The Florida Panthers, and a rusty Sergei Bobrovsky, spotted the Ottawa Senators three goals before clawing their way back to win the game 4-3 in a shootout.
Andrew Formenton opened the scoring 7:54 into the first when he collected a long pass from Michael De Zotto, which took a fortuitous bounce off Radko Gudas’ shin, and broke in on Bobrovksy and sent a shot off the cross bar and the goaltender’s arm before the puck trickled over the goal line.
After taking a pass from Drake Batherson, Josh Norris’ low, hard wrister was denied by Bobrovsky and the rebound came out right to defenseman Artem Zub, who fired it in blocker-side to put the Senators up by two at 15:26.
