"We had a great first period, Mats Zuccarello Authentic Jersey played with great pace," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "It
was an exciting game, we had our chances to get the lead again. They're a
dangerous team and we took one too many penalties."
Palat made it 2-1 at 4:27 of the second period with a shorthanded goal.
Victor Hedman forced a turnover at the blue line and dropped a pass for
Callahan, who set up Palat for a one-timer.
Kunitz tied it 2-2 31 seconds into the third period when he went to the
five-hole to beat Crawford.

back in the lineup helped tremendously," Lightning coach Jon Cooper
said. "Obviously we don't come back and win that game without that
line."Vasilevskiy denied Kane on a breakaway in the third period to keep
him from getting a hat trick that would have given Chicago the lead.
"[Vasilevskiy] was great," Palat said. Michael Grabner Authentic Jersey "He was the best player for us and kept us in this game.""We need to
take it game by game and keep working. I thought we had some good
chances, I thought both teams did a good job of creating chances. Nice
to score with the 5-on-3, it seems like the units are starting to get
some chemistry."
"Things are going to have to improve on our end if we want to sustain
that threat that we have. Tonight it was a little frustrating, but we'll
have to get better and that's on us as players. When you can get away
without scoring on a 5-on-3 on a four-minute power play and still come
out with a win, that's a positive."Namestnikov scored his 100th NHL

Nick Bjugstad scored in the second period and in the shootout to help
the Florida Panthers defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 at BB&T

go with," said Bjugstad, who's 11-for-30 in shootouts. "[Aleksander
Barkov] had a sick move (scoring in the second round). I was just
getting over that. The pressure isn't really on you when you go for it. I
did what I'm used to and I'm glad it worked out."Toronto (14-8-1) has
lost two straight after winning six in a row. Defenseman Morgan Rielly's
last-second shot in the third period hit the post. Andersen made 42

"Luongo was our best player tonight,'' Panthers coach Bob Boughner said.

and that's when you need your goaltending."
