It was one of those nights where everything that could have possibly gone wrong for the Panthers ended up going wrong.
Starting goalie Roberto Luongo was benched halfway through the game, the power-play unit gave up two more short-handed goals, and they could not figure out a way to solve Pittsburgh Penguins starting goalie Matt Murray until it was too late.
When you put it all together it added up to a 5-1 loss to extend their current losing streak to three games, leaving the Panthers nine points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
