"After a scoreless first period, Björfot registered his first goal since 2021 by beating former Panther Spencer Knight for a wrap-around goal after Cole Schwindt won an offensive zone draw back to him at the left point with 4:27 left in the second. It was his first-ever point in a Panthers kit. The Blackhawks would quickly counter to tie the tilt with 30 seconds left in the frame."
"Florida would regain the lead 5:20 into the third. Samoskevich collected Gustav Forsling's dump-in along the boards and skated into the right circle before putting a shot on goal that Knight got most of, but still managed to dribble over the line with Kaiser desperately trying to fish it out. Carter Verhaeghe would score a much more convincing goal when he took a short pass from Evan Rodrigues and whistled a wrister by Knight 2:04 later to give the Cats some breathing room."
