"The deciding goal came after Brad Marchand and Bennett combined to dispossess Zach Werenski of the puck at center ice. Bennett dropped to Gustav Forsling, who head-manned to Marchand on the left side. Marchand patiently waited for the incoming Bennett before letting go of a languid centering pass. Bennett quickly went backhand to forehead to beat Elvis Merzlikins, and the clock, giving the needy Cats their first win of the homestand."
"The Blue Jackets struck on the game's first power play to grab the lead at 7:40 when Damon Severson moved into the slot and deflected Ivan Provorov's shot past Sergei Bobrovsky with the second assist going to Cole Sillinger. Mackie Samoskevich whacked the puck away from Sean Monahan and it went right to Evan Rodrigues, who outwaited Merzlikins before firing home at 9:47 to knot the score."
Sam Bennett scored with four seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Florida Panthers to a 7-6 comeback win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Bennett and Brad Marchand dispossessed Zach Werenski at center ice, leading to a sequence in which Bennett received a languid centering pass and scored backhand. Florida never led until the final goal and erased deficits of one, three and two goals, tying the game three times. Columbus opened on the power play when Damon Severson deflected Ivan Provorov's shot past Sergei Bobrovsky. A frantic second period produced six goals, including strikes by Dmitri Voronkov, Miles Wood and Kirill Marchenko. Carter Verhaeghe scored twice in rapid succession to ignite Florida's rally.
