Close, but not close enough for the Vancouver Canucks.
After trailing 3-0 early in the third period, they were finally able to beat former Canuck Roberto Luongo. They did so twice, but could not get the tying goal despite pulling the goalie with two minutes remaining.
After Luongo turned aside several shots in those final minutes, the Panthers sealed the victory with an empty-net goal by Vincent Trocheck.
Vancouver continues to alternate wins and losses, which is great for avoiding extended losing streaks. Not so good, though, if you are trying to climb into a playoff spot.
