Panthers Overcome Blown Lead to Defeat Hurricanes, Ending Home-Ice Winning Streak

Friday, November 29th, 2024

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.
