The Florida Panthers scored four times in the first and went on to soundly beat the New York Islanders by a 6-1 count to snap a four-game losing streak.
Jonathan Huberdeau rapped Anthony Duclair’s pass past Ilya Sorokin 6:58 into the first to open the scoring, with the second assist going to Aleksander Barkov.
Ryan Lomberg got his first of the season at 14:40 when he roofed the rebound after Sorokin made a good save on Patric Hornqvist’s redirect of Brandon Montour’s backhand pass.
After Sorokin denied Montour on an opportunity that was mostly created off some sloppy puck movement before Carter Verhaeghe made a nice feed to the defenseman, Verhaeghe ended up putting the rebound into the net after Sam Bennett prevented the Islanders keeper from freezing the puck.
