The Panthers ended 2018 with a bang — winning for the first time in franchise history when trailing by three goals and on the road.
They beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in a shootout win Monday. The Panthers won their first shootout game of the season and picked up their first short-handed goal, as well.
The Panthers’ reward: more airline points. Starting with Thursday’s visit to the Buffalo Sabres, the Panthers will play seven of their next nine games on the road.
Fortunately, the Panthers are a solid 9-9-2 overall on the road this season, including 4-1-0 in their past five games away from home.
