Panthers Claw Back From Three-Goal Deficit, Take Down Red Wings 5-4
The Florida Panthers sent over 19,000 fans home happy on Thursday night after pulling off their latest thrilling comeback victory.
This time, the win came at the expense of the visiting Detroit Red Wings.
Florida scored the first goal of the night just 3:52 into the opening period when a Sam Reinhart backhand trickled through the arm and body of John Gibson and over the goal line.
From there, it was a slow and steady stream of goals by the Red Wings.
They led 2-1 after the first period and appeared poised to take a 4-1 advantage into the third period after Marco Kasper beat Akira Schmid at the 12:08 mark of the middle frame.
Panthers defenseman Gus Forsling had other plans.
