The Florida Panthers will welcome the Buffalo Sabres to FLA Live Arena for an NHL game on Tuesday. The Florida Panthers won 0-7 in their last game over the Jackets. Carter Verhaeghe scored four goals to reach 40 for the season, Alex Lyon made 21 saves for his first shutout and the Florida Panthers beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-0 on Saturday night to move into the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
Sam Reinhart added a goal and two assists, Nick Cousins and Eric Staal also scored and Anthony Duclair and Aleksander Barkov each had three assists in the Panthers’ third straight road victory. Florida moved a point ahead of Pittsburgh for eighth place in the conference, with five games left on the Panthers’ schedule.
“The resiliency is the most important part of this journey we’ve been on since January,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. “We’re able to bounce back out after tough losses or tough injuries. We’ll have to keep grinding.”
The Buffalo Sabres on the other hand won 3-6 against the Flyers in their last game. Alex Tuch had his second career hat trick, Jeff Skinner had a goal and an assist, and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-3 on Saturday night. Jordan Greenway and Kyle Okposo also scored, and Casey Mittelstadt added three assists for Buffalo in its fourth win in five games. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 39 saves.
“Good team win all around,” Tuch said. Morgan Frost scored twice for Philadelphia, and Travis Konecny also had a goal in his return to the lineup after a 16-game absence due to an upper-body injury. Felix Sandstrom had 23 saves. The loss officially eliminated the Flyers from the playoffs. They entered with the seventh-fewest points in the NHL.
The Sabres turned the contest with four goals in under four minutes over the first and second periods. “It was fun to watch,” Buffalo coach Don Granato said. Okposo finished a 2-on-1 with a shot over Sandstrom’s glove side to tie the score at 1-all with 9.3 seconds left in the first period. The Sabres then erupted for three goals in 2:21 early in the second.
