As usual, the Florida Panthers got off to a great start to open the game. It seems like a common theme for this team as they really do well coming out of the gates.
In the opening five minutes on the man advantage, Birthday boy Mike Hoffman opened the scoring with his eleventh of the season.
Florida wasn’t done there as they continuously applied pressure. The Hawks, on the other hand, were struggling to match the Panthers’ intensity, pinned in their own end for a good chunk of time.
It was only a matter of time until the Panthers found a second, all thanks to Jared McCann.
