Vilmania runs wild in Panthers 5-3 win over Blackhawks
A career four-point night from rookie Sandis Vilmanis propelled the Florida Panthers to a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at the Pink Panther Club in West Sunrise.
The 22-year-old Latvian produced both his first multi-goal and multi-point game in his 34th NHL appearance.
Vilmanis started having fun 4:43 into the first period, collecting a turnover in the neutral zone and moving the puck up to a waiting Carter Verhaeghe at the Chicago line. Verhaeghe crossed to Sam Reinhart, who smoothly set up a net-driving Vilmanis to complete the sequence of crisp passing.
