NHL Highlights | Panthers vs. Ducks – November 4, 2025

Are the Panthers facing a decision with Sergey Babsky or would you give him a couple more years? Oh, I don’t think that’s even a consideration. I mean, he’s he’s done it all for this team. And Ducks hoping to sweep a defending Stanley Cup champion for just the fourth time in their history. And they finally get out of the defensive zone. Chips it into the middle. Esto turned away. Rebound. And I don’t think that got through to Babsky. Went straight up in the air. No one knew where it was. And transporting it to center trying to get around Jackson Lome. Jackson tied him up long enough to get some help and Anaheim possesses the puck behind the defense off the bench. coach scores. [Music] [Applause] Cutter just keeps on going trying to join the rush with the Panthers and when Lome kind of fishes this puck out of traffic right there. Leo Carlson spots Katar Goceoce who jumped off the bench and he’s looking five hole all the way against Babski and that quick release and the accuracy of that shot. He picks his target, he hits it and he gives Anaheim a one- nothing lead. Eight goals on the season already for Goch and Anaheim will have a truncated power play opportunity. Boost puck all the way back behind Babavski. Niko around the boards, but there’s Trouba intercepted. Trying to go short side off the glove of Babski. Gets it back. Centers and a chance for Troy Terry that’s deflected out of play. Yeah, he’s going to put this pass right through the triangle to Terry. And yeah, Marand out of the box and Florida full strength. Both teams come up empty on their first power play chances of the game, but they both lasted less than a minute. Bouncing puck. Marian gets to it. He’s in. Storm. He went back against the grain over the left shoulder of those stall and we are all square. This is vintage Brad Maran. He gets that puck in open ice and he’s got such great speed. It’s turnover just inside the blue line and Marian’s able to get that puck away from Jackson Lome. Look at the quick hands and a little flip gets the goalender moving and sliding on his knees and then a little chip up over the glove. Absolutely perfect. check in directly to the Florida bench. Bucks quick to re-enter the zone. Lome has a man in front and unable to get a stick on it. Loose rebound. Carnison can’t finish and without a stick lunging to cover is Babski. Goender Babski and he was unable to catch the rebound. Look, there’s no one around. Crider Leo Carlson just can’t get it underneath the pad. See the flexibility of Babroski. Can he get the left knee down on the ice? He does just in the nick of time. They led the league in penalty minutes. Those two teams, the first two teams to lead the league in penalty minutes and win a cup since the ‘ 07 Anaheim Ducks. Here’s Gochet one timer and he’s got his second of the game. A power play goal and a great setup from Leo Carlson. Had no idea where that puck was. What you know there’s a big scrum in and around the net. Crider’s down there. Carlson does a good job. It was actually Ecklat knocked it out of but but Babroski had no idea where the puck was. He he was slow to get across. Standing up once again. Jacob Koopa just remarkable John. His his gaps in the neutral zone just spot on. Boquist from behind the Anaheim net and sliding out to kick it away from Samoskevich was dostall set to begin the second period. Anaheim leading after one for the third straight game and then has his shot blocked by Zelwiger who stayed with him. Good defensive play there by Olen. He’ll lift it into the Florida zone. Rodriguez gets behind the defense, takes the pass. He’s in and he scores. A great play and a slash skating Rodriguez through the neutral zone collects a puck and he was off to the races. The favorite target for a right-handed shot is high glove and a goalender and look where he puts his puck. I mean that is just perfect. Cook of the arm. Nice headman pass to Rodriguez to spring him and he buries it. Trying to force it into the Florida zone. Sbrango moves it away. And here’s speed. And another clear-cut breakaway. This time it’s Noah Greger, but he can’t finish. Verhagy goes below the goal line all the way back to the line for EClad. He’ll bring it into the middle. Out of the corner. Verhagy pulls the trigger. Tipped wide to the corner. Panthers recovering loose pucks. Duck penalty killers are tired now as it comes right in front and they score. Wow, what a play. Lena with a finish as he goes down and Florida has their first lead of the night. Watch Trouer as he comes around and you can see that Lena kind of blocks him and then makes that stick available in the front of the net. And what a nice pass by Rodriguez again. Boy, he’s had a real good game for the Panthers. Evan Rodriguez. Evan Rodriguez. [Music] Second of the season for Etu. Loose terrain at points in three straight games for the race for the loose puck and Mika got in the way of McTavish allowing the Cats to come the other way. Here’s Reinhardt for the corner coming late. Seth Jones. Big save. Do stop. Crider trying to reestablish position in front. Terry drags it on the goal line. Brings it in front. Trying to go through his legs. Poked away by Babski. Good puck recovery. Lome dishes it off. Score. A timer from the bottom of the circle is the first career hat trick for cutter go. Boy, what patience great puck movement at the end here. And again, Babowski can’t get across to protect that short side. And go man, he is just ready to fire. And on one motion, he just rips it again. What a skill this young man has. That’s his third of the night, his second on the power play. Kevin Rodriguez continues to work. Estano off the board, slides it through and gets it back from Hellison right through the logo across the line. Nice pass over to Korn. Pat save and a big rebound. Coord excuse me, next to Reco put it on net. Bronzky made a nice stop, but he didn’t control the rebound. Never got it back. And Nikita has his first of the year in different ways. Glor with the initial shot. Big fat rebound. Paling keeps it alive and Netorango just slams it home. Love that goal. That’s two goals in the last 143 for Anaheim to take the lead in this game. And we’re underway in the third. You know, John, they they get the puck and they move it up ice. They don’t just shoot it the length of the ice. Try and make something happen. Got a kick out of the comments that Troy Terry made. Here’s a rebound and Trouba is Johnny on the spot to make it 53. Simple play. The Ducks just get it to the net from the blue line. And look who’s hanging around the top of the crease. It’s another faceoff win for Anaheim. And there’s Trouba all the way up. He’s going to activate to the top of the goal crease. Yeah. Roce touches that puck. That’s why Babski can’t handle the rebound. There’s the redirect. And Jacob Trouba, boy, he’s loving life on that. He’s got a wide open net to flip that home. How about the Knight? Here’s Neestor Reno now knifing diagonally through the neutral zone. Pulls up and just chips it deep. Gets it back as it comes up the board. Scores. Cry with the tip. It’s six to three. [Music] [Applause] Good recognition. Nikita saw Crider in front and he just whipped it on net. Looking to jump even get behind him, get to the front of the net. Crider just magnificent at doing this. It It really is something that is a rare skill that few other players have. Mikov hangs on to it back in his own zone as the game clock winds to 520 and counting. Harkkins will just chip and chase a shift to the Ducks fourth line. Ross Johnston gets in. Turnover. Harkens in front. Babonsky made the save. He scores on the rebound. [Applause] This is uncanny. Another touchdown for the Ducks. And again, the Ducks get in behind the Florida defense. They turn it over in the corner. But what an effort for Jansen Harkkins. slams the first one into Babski. Hangs in there and from a prone position, he just sweeps it into the back of the net. The Ducks with a perfect 3 and 0 home stand. They remain tied for first the top of Pacific Division with the Vegas Golden Knights. [Music]

Cutter Gauthier recorded four points, including a hat trick, Troy Terry had two assists on the night, and the Anaheim Ducks cruised to a 7-3 win over the Florida Panthers.
