Florida bagged their first win of the seven-game homestand and rebounded well after Tuesday’s grim shutout loss.
With the win, the Cats go to 56 points, passing the New York Rangers in the standings. The Florida Panthers also avoid being swept in the season series against Calgary after losing 4-3 in Calgary last month.
The first period was one of the fastest periods of the season. There were only twelve faceoffs in the opening frame, no penalties, and no goals.
What was a refreshing sight was the pace the game was played at.
