In Raleigh, during the third period, A.J. Greer and Anton Lundell scored within 4 minutes and 10 seconds of each other, propelling the Florida Panthers to a 6-3 win against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Lundell scored his team's league-leading seventh short-handed goal of the season, contributing to an early 2-0 lead.
The Hurricanes' nine-game streak of home victories was broken.
Jesper Boqvist, Sam Reinhart, Carter Verhaeghe, and Sam Bennett, who scored an empty-net goal, were among Florida's other goal scorers. Reinhart increased his NHL-leading goal count to 18.
For the Hurricanes, goals were scored by Seth Jarvis, Sean Walker, and Eric Robinson, while Spencer Martin made 24 saves.
**Observations:**
The Panthers: Back-to-back wins might provide the momentum needed to rebound from recent difficulties. Lundell has become an essential player but needs to stay consistent.
The Hurricanes: Their second-longest winning streak at home was snapped, although they did close a significant gap. They continue to find success with the power play but struggle with defending against it.
**Pivotal Moment:**
Lundell's goal during a short-handed 2-on-1 rush shortly after his team moved ahead in the third period was decisive.
**Notable Statistic:**
The Hurricanes have converted power play opportunities in five straight games, whereas the Panthers have conceded power-play goals in five of their past six games.
**Next Matchup:**
The Panthers will host the Hurricanes for another game on Saturday in Florida.
