It was the type of performance the Florida Panthers needed, one that has eluded the team for the better part of the past three weeks.
A dominant effort from the start. No letdown late. Solid work in net. And, above all, a win.
The Panthers scored three times in 59 seconds late in the first period and never looked back in their 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks to snap a three-game losing streak and pick up their first win three games into their current five-game road trip.
