Panthers bounce back after road loss




The hometown Miami fans had a lot to cheer about as the Florida Panthers defeated the visiting New York Rangers 6-4. Olli Jokinen scored twice and added an assist on another goal by Brenden Morrow. For the game the Panthers outshot the Rangers 40-26 and a late goal by Daniel Paille made the score closer than it actually was.

Jay Bouwmeester opened the scoring with a power play goal at the 4:14 mark of the first period. David Booth scored two minutes later to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead. Two minutes after that, Boyd Gordon put one past the New York netminder to make it 3-0. Ryan Callahan put the Rangers on the board at 15:17 of the first period to make it a 3-1 game. Still in the first period Brenden Morrow scored his first goal of the season. The Panthers outshot the Rangers 17-7 in the first period.

After such a wild scoring first period things settled down a little bit in the second period. Olli Jokinen scored his first of the game at the 17:08 mark on a power play. He was assisted by Brenden Morrow and Jay Bouwmeester. Just before the end of the second period, Daniel Girardi sneaked the puck past the Florida goalie Roberto Luongo to make it a 5-2 contest.

Early in the third period Ales Kotalik scored on a power play for the Rangers to make it a 5-3 game. Seven minutes later, Olli Jokinen scored his second goal of the game to make it 6-3 for Florida. With just two seconds left on the clock the Rangers' Daniel Paille scored to make the final score 6-4.

This win gives the Panthers a 2-0-1 record early in the 2008-2009 season. Florida was 2-6 on the power play while the Rangers netted one out of two in power play chances. Brent Johnson started the game for the Rangers and was removed after the Panthers fourth goal in the first period. He stopped 11 of 15 shots against him. Henrik Lundqvist came in to relieve the beleaguered netminder and in his 42 minutes on the ice he stopped 23 of 25 shots against him. Roberto Luongo went the whole way for the Panthers stopping 22 of 26 shots against.

Olli Jokinen was named first star with Brenden Morrow and Jay Bouwmeester earning the second and third stars respectively.
