"New Jersey got goals from five different players - Arseny Gritsyuk, Dougie Hamilton, Cody Glass, Dawson Mercer and Simon Nemec - and former Panther Jacob Markstrom stopped 20 of 21 shots faced as the Devils struck another blow to Florida's fading playoff chances."
"The goal was a milestone for the 24-year-old Lundell, as it gave him 200 points in the NHL. Hamilton scored the go-ahead goal 1:35 into second, from Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt, with the teams skating 4-on-4 and Glass' tip-in at 8:13 put the Cats in a hole they would not be able to dig out of."
"Florida played a solid first period, but the two goals 6:38 apart early in the second did them in. The Panthers are now ten points behind the Boston Bruins, who edged Pittsburgh 2-1, with just 21 games left on the schedule to close the gap."
The Florida Panthers suffered a 5-1 defeat to the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center, with five different Devils players scoring. Arseny Gritsyuk opened the scoring early in the first period, and Anton Lundell responded with the Panthers' only goal, reaching 200 career NHL points. New Jersey took control in the second period with goals from Dougie Hamilton and Cody Glass, establishing a lead the Panthers could not overcome. Jacob Markstrom made 20 saves for the Devils. The loss extended Florida's losing streak to three games and widened their playoff deficit to ten points behind Boston with 21 games remaining in the season.
