RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Florida Panthers coach Joel Quenneville gave all the credit for his team’s latest win to backup goalie Chris Dreidger.
Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and an assist in the third period, Dreidger stopped 42 shots, and the Panthers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 Saturday night.
“Over the course of the season, you get some goalie wins,” Quennevile said. “That was one of them.”
Brian Boyle, Evgenii Dadanov, and Noel Acciari also scored for the Panthers, who won their third straight. Driedger helped Florida end five-game losing streak to the Hurricanes and get its first win at Carolina since 2015.
