The Florida Panthers’ losing streak has hit an unlucky seven.
Despite a Mike Hoffman highlight-reel goal, the Panthers (17-20-8) lost 5-1 to the Montreal Canadiens (26-17-5) Tuesday night at the Bell Centre in Montreal. It’s the longest losing streak for the Panthers since 2013, when they lost nine games in a row.
“It’s disappointing,” Panthers head coach Bob Boughner said postgame. “It’s been a tough road trip physically and mentally,”
“We didn’t get any luck today,” Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov said. “I think we outplayed them and played a really good game. We had a lot of chances, we just couldn’t score,”
