Some interesting storylines in Florida tonight.
The team has struggled lately, so Coach Q shook up the lines vigorously, leading to some instant dividends.
Playing his 500th game tonight, Jonathan Huberdeau has scored his 400th point on the back of 4 assists, mostly of the elite variety. Guy is on fire.
The biggest beneficiary has been his new winger Noel Acciari, scoring a hattrick in this game off of Huberdeau's great setups. This is big because Acciari has already surpassed his goal totals from last year but also because I'm not sure he's ever had a multi-goal game in his career. His teammates were pumped to see him get the rat...er...hattrick.
Panthers lead the hapless Senators 5-1 near the end of the 2nd.
