The Florida Panthers played the New Jersey Devils in Newark on Saturday night at the Prudential Center and lost in the three seconds of overtime 2-1. The Cats finished a three-game road trip at 1-1-1 and host the New York Islanders and San Jose Sharks later this week.
Michael Ryder got New Jersey(19-18-9) the lead at 15:22 of the first period on a wrist shot for his 16th goal of the year. In the second period, Nick Bjugstad evened the game for Florida(17-21-7) with his ninth goal this season at 11:54. The goal was assisted by Tomas Fleischmann and Scottie Upshall.
The contest went into overtime and the Devils would score with three seconds left in the extra session. Travis Zajac would win the faceoff in the right circle, Jaromir Jagr send the puck to Marek Zidlicky and he ripped a slapshot from the top right circle by Tim Thomas for the game-winning goal. Jagr passed former Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Mario Lemieux for seventh all-time in career NHL points with 1,724.
