Don’t expect the Panthers to book a trip to the Poconos anytime soon. They’ve had about all they can take of Pennsylvania, losing three straight to teams from the Keystone State within the past week.
The latest setback came Friday when the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins made a two-goal deficit disappear in a blink, coming up with three second-period goals en route to a 4-3 win.
Conor Sheary caused the Panthers a lot of hurt.
Sheary not only scored the go-ahead goal late in the third, but took out goalie Roberto Luongo earlier in the period when he nearly ripped the right hand off Luongo while flashing past the net.
