| The Florida Panthers looked for a little vengence agianst the team that knocked them out of the first round of last year's playoffs and they got their vengence a little by knocking off the visiting New Jersey Devils by the score of 5 to 3. Florida came into the contest 2-0-1 and from the start it looked bad for the Panthers just 30 seconds into the game when Lukas Krajicek took a penalty giving the Devils the first shot at a power play opportunity. The Devils were unable to execute on the power play though they managed four early shots on goal all stopped by Roberto Luongo. Just over a minute later though, Keith Tkachuk took advantage of a breakaway and drilled one past the Florida netminder to give the Devils a 1-0 lead. New Jersey center Scott Gomez took a penalty for slashing at 7:59 and right off the faceoff Nate Horton tied the score for the Panthers. Less than two minutes after that Stephen Weiss gave the Panthers a one goal lead as he sneaked one past the Devils goalie Martin Brodeur. Later in the first perioed Keith Tkachuk evened the score with his second goal of the game. Florida outshot New Jersey 12-11 in the first period. Into the second period, Mark Parrish scored on a Devils power play to give New Jersey the lead once again. Later in the period Niklas Hagman and Olli Jokinen would each score giving the Panthers a 4-3 edge going into the third period. The Panthers held off two Devils power plays in the third period and managed to score an insurance goal. Niklas Hagman scored his second goal of the game at 15:23 to help insure the Panthers victory. For the game the Panthers were 1 of 2 on the power play while the Devils managed 1 out of 6 chances with the man advantage. Brodeur stopped 33 of 38 shots against him while Luongo stopped 32 of 35 for the Panthers. Hagman with his two goals was named first star of the game while Devils forward Keith Tkachuk with his two goals earned the second star. Brenden Morrow added two assists to give him 9 points in the first four games of the season and earned the third star for the game. |
