OTTAWA (CBSMiami/AP) — The Florida Panthers just keep on rolling.
Jared McCann had a goal and two assists to lead the Panthers over the Senators 7-2 on Tuesday night as Ottawa captain Erik Karlsson sat out following the death of his son.
The team announced the death of Karlsson’s son before the game.
Erik and Melinda Karlsson were married last year and announced in November they were expecting their first child in the spring.
The team released a statement offering its “collective thoughts and prayers” and requested privacy for the family.
Keith Yandle, Nick Bjugstad, Evgeni Dadonov, Jamie McGinn and Frank Vatrano each had a goal and an assist for Florida.
