Already down number one goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, the Florida Panthers lost number two Chris Dreidger midway through the first period of last night’s 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings. No worries folks, three is a magic number after all.
Next man up Sam Montembeault stopped 23 of 26 shots in relief for the Panthers, who opened up a four-goal lead before surviving a furious late comeback attempt by the Kings.
Los Angeles scored three times in a 5:38 span of the second half of the third period to make things a little too close for comfort for the hosts before departing the Sunshine State with another hard-fought loss after a dropping a 4-3 shootout decision to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
