Florida Panthers Win In Unbelievable Fashion
In Saturday's matinee in New Jersey, the Florida Panthers got off to a drudgingly slow start but rallied with a crazy comeback win.
The Stanley Cup contender fell to a 2-0 deficit early. Things would get worse before they got better. The Devils scored 4 goals in the 2nd period in a display of their potent offensive capabilities. Featuring a hat-trick by Belorussian sniper Yegor Sharangovich, the Devils proved they can run & gun with the best of them.
Sharangovich's hat-trick goal was a piece of art:
The Devils' ability to score goals is without doubt at this point. Their ability to stop them, on the other hand, is another story. They have the worst collective goaltending in the NHL this season.
Add in to the mix Florida's elite offense & just might get a fun game.
That's what we got in Newark Saturday afternoon. After the Devils scored 4 in the 2nd, the Panthers returned the favor by scoring 4 goals of their own in the 3rd period. The Panthers carried with them all of the available momentum & won in OT via a Gustav Forsling wrister.
Capping off yet another wild comeback, which this season has seen a ton it seems, the Panthers continue to be one the League's very best teams heading into the playoff push.
