Panthers Win The Battle In New York To Extend Their Lead In The East. ALEKSANDER BARKOV DID WHAT!??

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to break down the Panthers' 4-2 victory against the New York Rangers from Madison Square Garden. Florida gave up the first goal just as the penalty kill came to an end toward the finish of the opening frame. The first period saw neither team fully take control as both teams traded their fair share of chances. Panthers would cash in midway through the second on the power play, thanks to Sam Reinhart. The real conversation on that play was Aleksander Barkov's puck handling ability as he gained the zone. After juggling the puck in mid air while fighting off a check, he was able to distribute the puck to Reinhart to give him his 43rd goal of the season, now third most in a season by a Florida Panther. Play of the year candidate by Barkov? Barkov a few minutes later would dish another assist to Reinhart as both traded give-and-goes, where Reinhart would beat Igor Shesterkin to give the Cats the lead. New York got their second goal on the power play thanks to Chris Kreider, but that was all the scoring that the Rangers would do. There were signs of things to come as the Panthers out-rushed the Rangers and won the face-off battles in the first 40 minutes, but were the better team at 5-on-5. The Panthers were not only penalty free in the third period, but they imposed their will in the third period where zone entries and high percentage shots were hard to come by as the Cats limited the Rangers to five shots in the third period. Ryan Lomberg's goal to give the Panthers the lead was a result of them breaking up the Rangers' speed in the neutral zone, where the would score off the rush. We give our three stars, when we thought this game was won, and turn the page to Tuesday night as the Panthers pay a visit to the New Jersey Devils, who made some changes behind the bench after coming back from their trip out west in California.
