The Florida Panthers rediscovered their scoring touch on Saturday.
Carter Verhaeghe had two goals and an assist as the Panthers made up for being shut out their previous two outings by coming away with a 5-1 victory over the suddenly cooled off Edmonton Oilers.
“When you don’t score in two games it sucks, so it was nice to see the puck go in the net,” said Verhaeghe. “We’re a resilient team and I think we came out the right way and it was nice to get the first couple of goals of the game, it started us off in the right foot.
"We believe in ourselves, and it was nice to get the win.”
Sam Bennett had a goal and two assists and Brandon Montour and Aleksander Barkov also scored for the Panthers (18-10-2) who snapped a two-game skid.
Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky made 38 saves for the win.
“You’re not beating these guys on home ice unless you get a goaltending performance like that,” said Florida head coach Paul Maurice. “He was quick and as dynamic and explosive as he was in the crease, he was also incredibly calm. You could feel it from the bench he wasn’t getting beat tonight. We needed that, we needed our A guys to step up and be great.”
