Panthers Hang On for Shootout Win Over Thrashers




It took overtime and a shootout to finish the job, but the Panthers get it done at home again. With three goals in the first period the Panthers took a commanding lead into the second, only to watch their lead evaporate. At the end of regulation the Thrashers had tied the score to send the game to an extra five minute skate. When the skateoff ended in a tie we went to a shootout.

Ilya Kovalchuk was stoned by Roberto Luongo on the first Thrasher shot. Newly acquired Fredrik Modin then beat Rick DiPietro stickside to give the Panthers a lead. Luongo then stopped Jeremy Roenick who tried to go up high on the big goaltender. Finally, Kristian Huselius gave the Panthers the shootout win when he beat DiPietro with a back handed shot.

For the game the Panthers outshot the Thrashers 32-31 and the Panthers were 2-6 on the powerplay while the Thrashers were 2-3. Nathan Horton, Niklas Hagman and Stephen Weiss each scored for Florida in the first period. Kurtis Foster scored for Atlanta in the second period. Pascal Dupuis scored in the early third period to make it a 3-2 game. Foster then scored with 10 minutes left on a power play for Atlanta to even the score. The Panthers were outshot in the five minute overtime skate, but then pulled out the win during the shootout.
