Joe Thornton scored his goal of the season and Jonathan Huberdeau added a goal and an assists as the Florida Panthers posted its sixth straight win with a 5-3 victory over the winless Arizona Coyotes at FLA Live Arena.
Florida dominated the first period, out-shooting the visiting Coyotes 11-1, but Arizona took the lead late in the frame when Clayton Keller got loose for a breakaway and beat Spencer Knight at the 17:43 mark after reeling in a long outlet pass from Nick Schmaltz. Knight got a piece of the puck with his stick, but not enough to keep it out.
