SUNRISE, Fla. — In every one of their four games in the last week, the Florida Panthers have fallen behind.
Every time, they’ve come back to win.Until the end, the Panthers’ latest comeback wasn’t quite as dramatic as their last, when they stormed back from four down to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime. On Friday, Florida were only down by two and were tied up by the end of the second period, although it took until the final minute to win. With 37.3 seconds left, Sam Bennett finished on the doorstep off a feed from Aleksander Barkov and Florida regrouped from a lifeless first period to beat the Buffalo Sabres, 4-3.
Florida (50-14-6) now has 50 wins this season and 25 have been come-from-behind victories. The nickname “Comeback Cats” is well-earned for this group — for good and ill.
