What should’ve been the Florida Panthers biggest win of the season ended in extremely frustrating fashion as the Cats blew a three-goal second period lead before losing 5-4 to the Tampa Bay Lightning when Brayden Point scored a 4-on-3 power-play goal with 1:48 remaining in overtime.
The Panthers got off to a fast start, scoring on two of its first three shots of the game. Frank Vatrano, from Evgenii Dadonov and Mike Matheson, and Aleksander Barkov, from Jonathan Huberdeau, each beat Louis Domingue through the wickets in an 11-second span to complete 2-on-1 breaks with the puck carrier choosing to shoot both times.
