Overview

  • Florida beat Winnipeg 5-1 in Winnipeg on Tuesday to end the Panthers’ four-game road trip with back-to-back wins and clear momentum.
  • Carter Verhaeghe scored two power-play goals and Sam Reinhart added another power-play tally as Florida’s special teams decided the game.
  • Matthew Tkachuk had four assists and reached 200 franchise assists faster than any Panther while defenseman Seth Jones added three assists in a high-skill night.
  • Akira Schmid started and made 24 saves for the win while Clay Stevenson started in goal for the Jets, who could not solve Florida’s power play.
  • Winnipeg enters the rematch on Friday in Sunrise still hampered by a lack of secondary scoring, a recent 0-for-12 power-play stretch, and multiple injuries that leave Arniel pressing for changes.
