| I don't think that head coach Jacque Martin has ever been so frustrated in his entire coaching career as he was throughout this game. There was a ton of back and forth play and Marc-Andre Fleury was a stone-cold brick wall stopping 42 of the Panthers 43 shots on goal. "Every time we had a chance, and we had plenty, there was Fleury making another terrific save," Martin said. "He definitely got the better of us tonight, but wait til the next time we meet." Kristian Huselius opened the scoring late in the first period with a goal off a faceoff won by Olli Jokinen at 16:54. That would be the only time Florida would beat the Penguins goaltender during the game. Evgeni Malkin evened the contest on a power play goal early in the second period. Later in the second, Boyd Devereaux scored the games final goal beating a handcuffed Roberto Luongo. The Panthers dropped just their second game at the Bank Atlantic Center this season, while the Penguins have played well on the road winning 5 of 10 contests away from the Igloo and gaining a point in one overtime loss on the road as well. "They came to play," said Panthers Defenseman Mike Van Ryn after the game. "Syd was especially difficult to contain, but we did a pretty good job on him. The rest of their team just put in that much more of an effort to beat us." Florida still leads the South Division by six points over the Nashville Predators but with some important games coming up the Panthers must play well to keep their lead in the division. |
