SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) The Florida Panthers gave up a three-goal, third-period lead but recovered for a 5-4 shootout win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night on Vinnie Hinostroza’s goal.<\/p>\n
The Panthers led 4-1 on Noah Gregor’s goal with 7:39 to play, but Seattle’s Matty Beniers, Jordan Eberle and Bobby McMann scored in a span of 2:21 to force overtime. Eberle and McMann scored just 14 seconds apart.<\/p>\n
Seattle, which has lost eight of 10, has not won since beating the Panthers 6-2 at home on March 15.<\/p>\n
Nolan Foote, Eetu Luostarinen and Carter Verhaeghe also scored for the Panthers with Sergei Bobrovsky making 22 saves.<\/p>\n
Ryker Evans also scored a third-period goal for Seattle and Joey Daccord had 20 saves.<\/p>\n
Beniers cut Seattle\u2019s deficit to 4-2 with 5:43 remaining, beating Bobrovsky off a poke check.<\/p>\n
With 3:36 left, Eberle forced a turnover and drove in on Bobrovsky making it 4-3.<\/p>\n
McMann tied the score at 4-all 14 seconds later, coming in off the rush and beating Bobrovsky through his skates.<\/p>\n
Gregor, called up by the Panthers from the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers, got Florida going off the rush in the second period by feeding Foote in front of the net.<\/p>\n
In the third, Gregor gave the Panthers a 4-1 lead when he was again trying to feed Foote crashing the net, only his shot from the wall went off Evans and past Daccord.<\/p>\n
Florida coach Paul Maurice was honored during a first period break for becoming only the second in NHL history top reach 2,000 games. Scotty Bowman is the other.<\/p>\n
Defenseman Aaron Ekblad played in his 800th game – all with the Panthers – which places him four games away from tying injured team captain Aleksander Barkov for the most games in Florida history.<\/p>\n
Seattle defenseman Adam Larsson played in his 1,000th NHL game.<\/p>\n
