Losing Streak Over, and Reinhart Gets to 50 Goals!

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brings in former Host/Producer of the Florida Panthers on Fox Sports Florida, Frank Forte(@FrankJForte). The two recap Florida's 4-1 win in Philadelphia that ended their four-game losing streak. Another game where the Panthers were short handed, but they welcomed back Dmitry Kulikov from his suspension. Florida was committed to protecting the house they ended up blocking 26 shots on the night, which tied a season high. Panthers set the early tone with their shot blocking, especially in the first period where they went on the penalty kill three times. Matthew Tkachuk forced the Flyers to take a penalty at the end of the first period where Vladimir Tarasenko scored 55 seconds into the second period. It all started with a great defensive play by Brandon Montour to deny the Flyers from getting a short handed breakaway on a stretch pass by Scott Laughton to Travis Konecny. With Konecny way up the ice, the Panthers quickly got it back to the Flyers zone where Reinhart from the near side half wall fed Tarasenko on a cross ice pass and converted to give Florida the 2-0 lead. Florida was also really effective in their first pass out of the zone, resulting in two goals off the rush. First one by Sam Reinhart, the other by Carter Verhaeghe. Reinhart and Montour ended up with three points on the night. Florida had to handle Philadelphia creating multiple pushes to start the final two periods, and responded both times in the first five minutes. Philadephia got to the dirty areas in the final 40 minutes, especially off the rush, but Anthony Stolarz stood strong between the pipes saving 32 of 33 on the evening, where the only goal he surrendered was when Flyers coach John Tortorella pulled the Felix Sandstrom with about seven minutes left while on the power play and down three goals. Florida would ice the game where after Reinhart originally missed the empty net in the final minutes, then Luostarinen raced to the puck to avoid an icing, and while battling three Flyers in the nearside corner, got it to Sam Reinhart in the high slot where he got his 50th goal of the season. The guys discuss Reinhart's all-around game in what makes him so valuable in different situations. The two discuss their three stars, and when they thought the game was won. The Panthers have a franchise record for road wins at 25, the two discuss how impactful their game is when they hit the road, and how it benefits the Panthers even if they do not win the Presidents' Trophy.
