Recap: Samson and the Lyon help Panthers edge Wild by 5-3 count
No Sergei Bobrovsky and Spencer Knight? No problem! Alex Lyon made 29 saves to backstop the Florida Panthers to a scrappy 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild that saw Aaron Ekblad, Sam Bennett and Gustav Forsling leave the tilt with injuries. Only Forsling returned, and he ended up bagging the eventual game-winning goal in the third period.
After getting his first win with the Panthers on Thursday in Montreal, the 30-year-old Lyon delivered another strong performance in his first-ever start with Florida to collect his second.
