"The Panthers opened the scoring 6:44 into the first when Carter Verhaeghe and Evan Rodrigues worked behind the net to claim the puck. Verhaeghe sent the biscuit from low to high to Aaron Ekblad at the right point. Filip Gustavsson failed to glove Ekblad's shot, which ticked off Ryan Hartman and appeared to be going wide, and Sam Reinhart pounced on the rebound to collect his 25th goal."
"Marchand would pot his first of the night at 18:20 with Jake Middleton off for trippping. After taking a drop pass from Matthew Tkachuk, Reinhart fired the puck around the boards where it came to Marchand on the left side. A determined Marchand cut towards the middle off the ice with Eriksson Ek in pursuit and shoveled a backhander past Gustavasson through a crowd."
Brad Marchand scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist as the Florida Panthers defeated the Minnesota Wild 4-3. Florida opened the scoring when Sam Reinhart pounced on a rebound after Aaron Ekblad's shot eluded Filip Gustavsson for Reinhart's 25th. The Wild tied on a power play when Kirill Kaprizov's attempt deflected off Ekblad and beat Sergei Bobrovsky. Marchand's first came late in the first on a backhand after a drop pass from Matthew Tkachuk. Minnesota scored the only goal of the second via Joel Eriksson Ek on a rebound. Minnesota later took the lead on a shorthanded Matt Boldy breakaway before Florida answered and ultimately secured the win.
