The Florida Panthers emerged victorious with a 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night, thanks in part to Justin Sourdif scoring his first NHL goal. Sam Bennett also had a notable performance, achieving a Gordie Howe hat trick with a goal, assist, and fight. Additionally, goals from Gustav Forsling and Mackie Samoskevich contributed to the Panthers’ win, their third in four games. Spencer Knight made 18 saves in goal for Florida, while Micheal McCarron scored the lone goal for the Predators, with Juuse Saros making 21 saves. Sourdif’s goal came off a 2-on-1 rush with Jesper Boqvist, further solidifying the Panthers’ lead. Despite McCarron briefly narrowing the gap in the third period, Forsling’s goal shortly after put Florida back in control. The Panthers now hold a 22-3-0 record when leading after the first period this season. Next up, they will face the Edmonton Oilers at home on Thursday. The game also saw a notable moment when Nashville captain Roman Josi did not play in the third period after a hard hit from Bennett, who was penalized for boarding. This victory marks another successful outing for the Panthers, with Sourdif making a memorable contribution to the team’s continued success on the ice.
