The Panthers’ home winning streak may be over, but the playoff chase is alive and well | Miami Herald

The streak is over.

Matt Duchense and Magnus Paajarvi scored two goals each as the Ottawa Senators snapped the Florida Panthers’ franchise-record eight-game home winning streak with a 5-3 win on Monday night at the BB&T Center.

Florida’s Aleksander Barkov nearly gave the Panthers their first lead of the game when he got a breakaway, shorthanded attempt with 5:51 left in the third period. But Barkov failed to fool Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson, a Broward County resident and a former Panther.

After Barkov came up empty, Duchense scored the game winner with 3:00 remaining in the third.
