MIAMI (AP) — Patric Hornqvist scored the tying goal with 3 seconds left in regulation and had the game-winner in a shootout as the Florida Panthers beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Hornqvist beat Joonas Korpisalo in the fifth round of the shootout to end it after Columbus’ Mikhail Grigorenko’s try went into the pads of Panthers’ stopper Sergei Bobrovsky.
Hornqvist, the 14-year NHL veteran who joined the Panthers after six seasons with Pittsburgh, had tapped in the tiebreaker from the doorstep late during a 6-on-5 scramble after the Panthers had played from behind for most of the third period.
