Offense stumbles as Panthers drop second in a row at home to Blue Jackets

SUNRISE, Fla. — Sunrise has gotten used to seeing come-from-behind wins this season. It’s usually just the Florida Panthers executing them.

Not this week. For the second time in three days, the Panthers blew a lead on home ice and fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets, 6-3, in Florida.

The Panthers scored in the first nine minutes, then gave up a game-tying goal later in the first period and surrendered the go-ahead score with 10:28 left in the second. Florida, which leads the NHL with five home wins when trailing at the second intermission, couldn’t pull off a comeback and dropped a second straight game at home for only the second time all season, and the previous two-game losing streak came when a significant chunk of the roster was sidelined by COVID-19.
