Florida Panthers overcome a blown lead, defeat the Leafs 3-2 in OT

The ageless wonder Roberto Luongo squared off against backup net minder Curtis McElhinney for Toronto. However, who would ultimately prevail and prove victorious?

Without Denis Malgin’s presence – expected absence: approximately 1-2 weeks due to a lower-body injury – HC Bob Boughner shockingly slotted the struggling Radim Vrbata onto the 2nd line. The game commenced with both teams committing vacuous penalties; although, neither team capitalized from their gifted power play opportunities. Roberto Luongo defended his cage remarkably, making numerous high-way robberies, most notably against Connor Brown’s between-the-legs attempt.
