Evgenii Dadonov scored twice and added an assist, including the eventual game-winning goal on a penalty shot, as the Florida Panthers erupted for three goals in 4:44 span of the third period to post a 5-2 comeback win over the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center.
Keith Yandle provided a spark with the Panthers trailing two to one by tossing Jeff Skinner to the ice after Skinner was thought to have taken liberty with Aleksander Barkov (replays show he didn’t), who briefly left the game, earlier.
Kyle Okposo hooked Yandle soon after he came out of the box late in the second period and the Cats cashed in on the ensuing power play when Yandle fired a wrister off Barkov’s.
