Gameday 9: Florida Panthers vs Pittsburgh Penguins
"Carter Verhaeghe's crazy goal with 25 seconds remaining in regulation allowed the Panthers to escape TD Garden with a 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Mackie Samoskevich, A.J. Greer and Eetu Luostarinen also lit the lamp for the offensively-challenged Cats, who ended a four-game losing streak and finally claimed their first road win of the season. Brad Marchand collected two primary assists to earn First Star honors in his first game back in Boston since the trade."
"While the Panthers were beating Boston, the resurgent Penguins posted an impressive 5-1 decision on home ice over the Vancouver Canucks to extend their winning streak to three games. Connor Dewar, Tommy Novak, Sidney Crosby, Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazeau provided the goals, while Kris Letang became the 20th defenseman in NHL history to reach 600 career assists. Goaltender Arturs Silovs stopped 23 of 24 shots to earn the win against his former team."
Florida Panthers return home after a difficult five-game road trip and a 4-3 win in Boston thanks to Carter Verhaeghe's late goal. The Panthers ended a four-game losing streak and recorded their first road victory; Brad Marchand leads the team with three goals, five assists and points in six of eight games. Pittsburgh is on a three-game winning streak after a 5-1 win over Vancouver, with goals from Connor Dewar, Tommy Novak, Sidney Crosby, Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazeau, and Kris Letang reaching 600 career assists. Projected starters are Bobrovsky for Florida and Arturs Silovs for Pittsburgh.
