The Florida Panthers had a prime chance to take the lead late Sunday. The Panthers found themselves on the power play 33 seconds into the third period after the Columbus Blue Jackets’ Mathieu Olivier committed a tripping penalty.
But the Blue Jackets, despite temporarily being down a skater, got possession behind their own net and made their way down the ice where Sean Kuraly corralled a rebound and fired a wrist shot past Sergei Bobrovsky.
Florida never recovered after that in a 5-3 loss at Nationwide Arena.
