Panthers nip Bruins 5-4 in shootout to end slump
"After Sam Bennett had a goal waved off, Eetu Luostarinen opened the scoring for real at 4:22 when he beat Joonas Korpisalo with a wrister from the right circle following a turnover by Morgan Geekie. The Bruins would forge ahead on back-to-back breakaway goals from Mikey Eyssimont. Alex Steeves tipped Hampus Lindholm's outlet pass through the skates of Uvis Balinkis and Eyssimont skated into the puck and solved Sergei Bobrovksy five-hole at 7:18."
"As his been the case lately, the Panthers weren't up to snuff in the third and gagged up the lead they worked so hard to build. Boston halved the deficit at 7:35 when Charlie McAvoy let go of a shot from the right point, after taking a pass from his partner, Lindholm, that deflected off the blade of Aaron Ekblad's stick before striking Mark Kastelic on its way past Bobrovsky."
Florida beat Boston 5-4 in a shootout at Amerant Bank Arena, keeping playoff hopes alive. Eetu Luostarinen opened the scoring after a Sam Bennett goal was waved off, and Mikey Eyssimont gave Boston a temporary lead with back-to-back breakaway goals. Florida dominated the second period as Uvis Balinskis, Matthew Tkachuk and Anton Lundell combined on a two-goal surge, including a power-play tally by Tkachuk and a shorthanded redirect by Lundell. Boston narrowed the gap in the third when a McAvoy point shot deflected past the goalie, forcing overtime and a shootout that Florida ultimately won.
