SUNRISE, Fla. — In a whirlwind 41 seconds, Sergei Bobrovsky and Ryan Lomberg turned a potential tie game into the start of a blowout for the Florida Panthers.
On one end, Bobrovsky stopped one shot from Alex DeBrincat and then another right on the doorstep, and then slid all the way to his left to deny Ryan Strome against a briefly wide-open net. On the other, Lomberg wound up with the puck near center ice with one defender to beat and he blew by him, feinting to his left and dashing to his right, then ripping a laser shot past Collin Delia to double the Panthers’ lead.
Florida kept building from there and finished a perfect two-game homestand with a 4-0 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday in Sunrise.
