The Florida Panthers ended a mostly glorious calendar year with a maddening 3-2 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens at Amerant Bank Arena.
A duel between goaltenders Daniil Tarasov and former Panther Samuel Montembeault kept the game scoreless until pregame honoree Brad Marchand broke the seal midway through the third period.
After Mackie Samoskevich forced a tripping call on Juraj Slafkovský, Florida’s power play clicked at the 10:18 mark to finally open the scoring when Marchan...

Well, if we’ve learned anything over the last two weeks, it’s that the Lakers absolutely do not have it. They have had different lineups, different rotations, different teams and different settings. In all but one — which barely counts since it is against the Kings — they not only lost, but did so in blowout […]

The Chicago Blackhawks erased a two-goal deficit after the first to earn a point, but ultimately fell 3-2 in a shootout to the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
The Islanders opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game. After forcing a turnover, Simon Holmstrom dropped a centering pass to Calum Ritchie, who snapped a wrister past Spencer Knight to give New York an early 1-0 lead.

The New York Islanders picked up a two goal lead early, only to let it slip away from them in the second period. It’s becoming a bit of a bad habit lately that the team just stops playing with a lead, and letting teams like the Blackhawks sans Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar get back […]

First period
There’s a loud “Go Habs Go!” chant to begin the game, so apparently a few more Canadians travelled to Florida than have to Minnesota for the World Juniors.
Samuel Montembeault makes a couple of saves early. It looks like he’s following the puck so far and making a point to watch it right into his body to control the rebound. Back to basics it seems, which is a good way to start.
