Florida Panthers Hold On, Montembeault Dazzles in 3-2 SO Win
After three tries in the previous week, the Florida Panthers finally got it done in the extra frame, hanging on to beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 in the shootout.
This win definitely is one that Joel Quenneville should be proud of. While a 3-2 win away from home against a division winner from last season looks impressive as it is, there were a lot of unexpected takeaways from this one.
For one, the Florida Panthers won a game with defense. If you’re a Panthers fan, you know how little we get to say that. Florida kept Nashville scoreless for the first 49 minutes of play, with blocked shot after blocked shot and save after save from Sam Montembeault.
