The Florida Panthers didn’t bring its full arsenal of firepower to the Gulf Coast and it showed, as the Cats were shutout 2-0 by the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena in a feisty match that saw the two clubs combine for 22 penalty minutes.
After a scoreless first period, Jeremy Morin opened the scoring on the first shot of the second, beating Panthers starter James Reimer unassisted at the 3:54 mark.
Morin would pick up his second point of the night at 14:48 of the final frame when he combined with Michael Bournival to set up Brayden Point for the game-clinching goal.
