All of the sudden the Florida Panthers are on a losing streak after getting torched 7-3 by the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center.
Andreas Johnsson scored twice, Ty Smith had a goal and two assists, and P.K. Subban and Nico Hischier each had a goal and an assist for New Jersey, who are now riding a three-game point streak. MacKenzie Blackwood made 35 of 38 for his first win of the season in just his second start.
After Sam Bennett opened the scoring, from Owen Tippett and Carter Verhaeghe, by knocking in his own rebound on a wraparound play 3:53 into the first, the Devils got goals from Johnsson, a rebound on a Devils power play, and via a Hischier redirection 1:59 apart to take a 2-1 lead to the dressing room.
