The Florida Panthers ended a Western Conference road trip on Friday night and lost to the Calgary Flames 4-3 in a shootout at The Saddledome. The Cats finished the five-game road swing with a 2-2-1 record. They head home and begin a five-game homestand on Monday night against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Tom Gilbert scored his first goal as a Florida Panther at 15:14 of the first period to give Florida(6-13-5) a 1-0 lead.
Calgary(8-11-4) scored two goals during the second period to take the lead 2-1. Joe Colborne had an even-strength goal nine minutes into the period and Sven Baertschi following with a power-play goal at 12:04
Blair Jones would give the Flames a two-goal cushion at 5:40 of the third period with his first tally this season.
The Panthers again climbed out of the hole in the third like they have for several games this year. Jimmy Hayes, who was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks for Kris Versteeg last week, scored his first goal with his new team at 7:02. Marcel Goc tied the game at 3-3 with 5:59 left in regulation with his sixth goal this season.
In the shootout, Jiri Hudler converted for the Flames on their second attempt while Brad Boyes matched it for the Cats on their third attempt.
