Lundell scores late, Panthers top Mammoth 4-3 for third consecutive win
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Anton Lundell scored with 50.8 seconds left, batting a
loose puck in front of the net home to lift the Florida Panthers to a 4-3 win
over the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday night.
Sam Bennett had two goals and an assist, giving him seven points in his last
three games for Florida, which was opening a four-game road trip and improved
to 3-0-1 in its last four games. Carter Verhaeghe also stayed hot, with a goal
and an assist --- giving him seven goals and six assists in a seven-game point
streak.
Dylan Guenther had two goals for Utah, pushing him to 13 for the season, and
Jack McBain also scored. John Marino had two assists for Utah, which has
dropped three straight.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 27 shots for the Panthers and Karel Vejmelka made 32
saves for the Mammoth.
Momentum shifted back and forth throughout the night, with Utah scoring the
first goal --- Guenther at 11:23 of the first --- and then the Panthers scoring
the next three. Verhaeghe tied it for Florida with 43 seconds left in the
opening period, then Bennett scored twice in a span of 104 seconds to push the
Panthers' lead to 3-1 with 16:36 left in the middle period.
Back came the Mammoth. Guenther made it 3-2 just 13 seconds after Bennett's
second goal and McBain scored to knot the game at 3-3 with 5:23 left in the
second.
It stayed that way until Lundell got the game-winner, with Sam Reinhart and
Eetu Luostarinen getting the assists.
