Daily News | Panthers hold off Flyers’ second-period surge for a 6-3 victory
SUNRISE, Fla. — After the Florida Panthers jumped out to a 4-0 lead by the end of the first period Thursday night at FLA Live Arena, the Flyers could have slumped in defeat and played on their heels for the next 40 minutes.
Their efforts, however, weren’t enough to overcome the Panthers, who held off the Flyers’ surge for a 6-3 victory. Seven minutes into the third period, the Panthers notched their third power-play goal of the night when center Patrick Brown redirected a pass from winger Anthony Duclair into the back of his own net. A Sam Reinhart empty-net goal, earning him a hat trick, served as the dagger.
With their loss to the Panthers, the Flyers’ winning streak ended at two games. They have not had a three-game winning streak since Dec. 10-14.The Flyers have struggled lately to keep pucks on their sticks, especially in their game on March 3 against the Minnesota Wild in which they had 15 giveaways. Panthers takeaways on Thursday night led to similar strife for the Flyers.
Going into the game, the Panthers boasted the league’s 12th-ranked power play overall and ninth-ranked at home . Much to the Flyers’ despair, the Panthers capitalized on each of Ristolainen’s penalties. On the first power play, Reinhart camped out in the front of the net all alone, deflecting Jonathan Huberdeau’s shot past Hart to put the Panthers up, 2-0.
