"Daniil Tarasov made 17 saves and did not yield in the shootout and Matthew Tkachuk collected his first point of the season in the Florida Panthers 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets at Canadian Life Centre. Tkachuk set up Sam Bennett for a one-timer with 1:11 left in the second period, collecting the puck by the left boards and centering to number nine, who blasted his 18th of the campaign past Connor Hellebuyck after an offensive zone faceoff."
"The Jets countered 5:24 into the third when veteran Jonathan Toews dispossessed Uvis Balinskis of the puck as he rounded his own net and then found Cole Perfetti streaking to the slot. Perfetti went forehand-to-backhand to pull Tarasov to ice and easily finished like mom's spaghetti. Tarasov would make a huge pad save on Mark Scheifele with 8:31 remaining in regulation to keep the tilt tied and get some help from the cross bar in overtime when Josh Morrissey took a drop pass from Toews and rang the puck off the iron."
"The Panthers thrashed the Jets in the shootout. After Tarasov easily stopped Kyle Connor to start, Anton Lundell punched the puck through the wickets of Hellbuyck to end round one. Scheifele would miss high to open the second round and Sam Reinhart ended it by whipping a wrister by Hellebucyk, giving Paul Maurice his first win in Winnipeg as the Cats head coach."
