Florida took full advantage of the situation, much to the delight of fans at FLA Live Arena.
Jonathan Huberdeau scored a power-play goal and racked up four assists; Anthony Duclair scored twice and added an assist; and Aleksander Barkov notched a shorthanded goal and drew a helper to power the Cats to the easy win, which saw them score three times in each period to trounce the Bolts.
