In a tightly contested game, the Florida Panthers faced the Seattle Kraken and fell 2-1, despite a potential game-leading goal by rookie Mackie Samoskevich being disallowed for goaltender interference. The Kraken initially took the lead with a power-play goal by Kaapo Kakko, but Eetu Luostarinen equalized for Florida. However, the pivotal moment came when the disallowed goal shifted momentum; Jared McCann then sealed the victory for Seattle in the third period. This loss ended Florida's streak of five home wins and left them at 34-21-3 for the season.
Video review determined Evan Rodrigues' presence in the crease and his contact on Joey Daccord's stick impaired his ability to play his position prior to Mackie Samoskevich's goal.
I heard the explanation. We can't touch a goalie in the blue paint. And I guess we did.
This was the Panthers' first game back following the 4 Nations Face-Off, where they sought to build on their previous home success.
Seattle’s Jared McCann scored the go-ahead goal leading to a tough loss for Florida, ending their home winning streak.
