Recap: Panthers blow big lead, fall 5-4 to Blues in overtime

The Florida Panthers built a big lead, but crumbled in the third period and had to settle for a single point after dropping a 5-4 overtime decision to the St. Louis Blues.

Florida opened the scoring 1:20 into the first period. After Gustav Forsling broke up a pass in his own zone, Aaron Ekblad handed the puck off to Eetu Luostarinen, who it carried down the ice. Luostarinen eventually slipped a return pass through to Ekblad in the slot and he turned and fired it by Thomas Greiss.

Aaron Ekblad strikes first!
