Even game shot wise (25 to 23 for the yotes) but pulled out a 4-1 win. Holmqvist was solid in net and the top line was huge accounting for 3 of the 4 goals. They were just too good for the yotes.
1. PANTHERS, GABORIK 43 (STRAKA, RICHARDS), 03:16
4. PANTHERS, GABORIK 44 (STRAKA, RICHARDS), 19:08
5. PANTHERS, RICHARDS 27 (STRAKA, GABORIK), 14:12
Alexeev picked up the other goal for the Panthers. PK went 100%, powerplay went 0%, so there is always room for improvement. Good win overall.
Still 4 points back from Bruins, and should be a matter of a win or two till we clinch a playoff spot.
5th win in a row, and currently 7-1-2 in last 10.
