REBOUND OFF THE POST AND THEN THEY STUFF IT HOME AND CAROLINA’S GOT THE LEAD ONE- NOTHING. >> Incredible save there by Sergey Babroski, but then he got spun around and then the Panthers defense, they just couldn’t track down that puck. >> Anton Wal on a three-game goal streak coming in. Look out. Stalls stopped by Babski with the stick. Nikeshian breaks in and gets a shot on Babski. That’s stopped. Yeah, we’ve mentioned a few times that top two lines for the Florida Panthers, they just continue the Lundell line, the Bennett line. >> Cleared out to center.

Here’s Gstas Bear put OUT IN FRONT. WHAT A SAVE BY BABSKI. AND THEN AO SCORES ON THE REBOUND. AO’s second of the night. It’s three nothing Hurricanes. >> Yeah, and that takes away the unbelievable save there by Sergey Babroski. But you’re right, Randy, for the majority of this game and the Panthers have had, you know, the job, the Benon and Londell line at matching up with these good Carolina lines, but it has been a long time. Borsling shoots in. Miller couldn’t clear. Verhagy is there. HERE’S BETT IN FRONT. MARIAN TURNS AND IT GOES WIDE. MARIAN SCORE. BRAD MARIAN’S ON THE score sheet and the [music] Panthers are alive. >> It’s three to one. This play all started with Carter Verhagy getting on his horse [cheering] there. He takes him out. Bennett to Marian. The puck goes right back as Bennett pokes it back to Marian and the other side of the net. Look at Marian waiting for the puck. Brings it to his forehand and gets it through. Busy. Finally, the Panthers have scored a goal tonight. >> Well, extend that little stretch that Nikola flips it to the line. Rodriguez is taken down. >> Interference not called. >> Samoske. He’s got Greer IN FRONT. OH, BUSY MADE THE SAVE. MARIAN AFTER THE PUCK JUST COULDN’T GET TO IT. But now Reinhardt the steal. Reinhardt moves. MARAN TO THE NET. REINHARDT SHOOTING. IT WENT WIDE. STAN KOV STOLEN AWAY BY JONES. JONES OVER THE BLUE LINE. CENTERS. HERE’S BENNETT. SAVED BY BUSY. Deflected puck. Jones has it. Power play is over. Specnikov joins the play. Panthers still in the zone. JONES SHOOTS. BUSY THE SAVE. WALKER, the defenseman, has lost his stick. Here’s Reinhardt. Walker doesn’t have a stick. Reinhardt knows that. Jones shooting. Blocker save. Panthers open to pull something out here. Down two with 234 left in the game. They win the faceoff. It’s Jones up at the line. Marshan now sweeps IT IN FRONT. DEFLECTED ON GOAL SAVE REBOUND STOPPED AND THEN THEY SCORE. THEY GET IT BACK. It’s Sam Bennett. The Cats are within one with 225 left. Continues his toward pace as the Panthers get the puck to the net. They almost jammed it in with Rodriguez. >> [cheering] >> at the side and Bennett time >> loose behind the net. REINHARDT BATTLES AAHO. REINHARDT WINS THE BATTLE. LONDELL. REINHARDT MOVES TOWARDS THE NET AND SHOOTS. IT WENT WIDE. Looking for some magic late. Loose side of the net. Londell fights for THE PUCK. RODRIGUEZ FLOATS IT TO THE NET. BLOCKED AWAY. Marian in front. The shot. Score. Sam Reinhardt ties it at three. What a comeback. Oh, there’s a lot of tired Panthers out on that ice. Look at Sam Reinhardt. Lundelle did the heavy work in behind the net. Pumps it back. Panthers get a floater out in front. Goes off of Slavven onto the stick of Marshian. And then he just waits for >> Last time the Panthers came back from three in the third three years ago in New Jersey. They won it 76 in overtime. >> What a point to get. And there’s another one on the line. And this is going to be something else. We’re going three on three. Yeah, they’ve got three forwards on the ice. This is Jarvis. So dangerous. Cutting in. GETS TO THE NET. OH, SERGEY BABROSKI. Defender Sergey Babrovski with the glove. >> Wow, what a collision. You see Jarvis. Looks like he got the goalpost with his ribs right there. >> Marian trying to get on the ice. He does. So does Bennett. Panthers looking to get a chance for the big two. And it’s MARIAN WITH BENNETT. MARIAN. BENNETT BACKHAND. BUSY WITH A HUGE STOP TO KEEP IT ALIVE. Has Marian. Marian through center. He and BENNETT MOVE IN. MARIAN removed and Fussy makes the save. >> Takes the puck in full speed. Look at how he just makes a little move to the inside on the backand. Well, Busy right the last second used that big frame. He wasn’t too sure where that puck was going to come off the stick of Marshian >> Walker with a lead pass. 5 SECONDS LEFT IN OVERTIME. PUT OUT IN FRONT. THEY COULDN’T GET A DEFLECTION. >> This continues. We go to a >> Oh yeah. And then they take a run out. >> A cheap lane hit by Walker on Reinhardt. And the Panthers do not like that. [cheering] >> Here we go. And the Panthers complete the comeback from three goals down. >> Busy the first save in the shootout. >> Wendell lost his edge there a little bit and it slowed him down. And >> watch comes in. What? Whoops. He recovers. >> AO has two tonight. Scored on a breakaway in the third. >> Scored both goals in the third when it looked like Carolina had this game locked up at 3 nothing with 10 minutes to go. AO against Babroski and Babroski stones him. >> Looks like Aaho was trying to go between the legs again on Sergey Babroski. >> Yep, that’s exactly where he was trying to do it. Put it on the ice between the legs. >> These two goalies this season remain perfect in shootouts. Sam Reinhardt trying to change that and beat Brandon Busy. REINHARDT. HE’S GOT IT. He tied it [music] with 42 seconds left. And now he gives the Panthers the lead in the shootout. That’s a patent move. We’ve seen it before by Reinhardt. Comes in on the right side, drags that puck and then puts it off the far post. >> Andreov, can he get it even? NO SIR. THE PANTHERS ARE IN A position to win it now. >> And who else jumping over the boards is Brad Marshan. As we see the cost, that puck just went right off the end of his stick. >> Are you kidding me? Is 63 going to end this thing? This place is going to go nuts. MARAN WINDS UP FROM HIS OWN ZONE. FLIES IN ON BUSY. He missed one. >> Wow. That might have been one of the fastest shootout shots I’ve ever seen. Full speed. Marian, he made his decision. He was going to shoot. Just whistles it wide. Now it’s on Sergey Babroski to make the save. >> Marian’s fellow 37year-old teammate can win it. Blake one for three this season walks in AND HE SCORES. AND WE CONTINUE. WELL, what a nifty move there by Blake right at the last second. I think Sergey Babroski thought that the shot was coming and then the last move to the forehand. First shootout goal. Babroski’s allowed this year. Rodriguez will try to reclaim the lead in round number four. And he does. Rod gives him another chance. He looks so calm coming in. Rodriguez look at like he’s going to go to the back hand and just picks the corner. >> Nikolai Eers. The game on the line in round four. Can the Panthers come all the way back? Let’s go home, baby. The first time in franchise history The Panthers trail by three GOALS WITH 10 MINUTES left and they win it in a shootout. Sergey Babroski makes the save. Evan Rodriguez the game deciding goal. THE TWOTIME STANLEY CUP CHAMPS HAVE WON FOUR IN A row and they jump up in a second place in the division. Oh, Babroski was on the bench. They were down 3-1 late in the third. They got two. And then he follows through and comes up big in overtime. And in the shootout, Rodriguez had two assists on those final two goals. And it’s time for him to get a little action with his buddy Brad Marshan. Belly missed. And you got to come back, Evan Rodriguez. There’s the save. There’s the hug. And there’s a season high four-game winning streak for the Panthers.
