Panthers Shut Out By Senators

     The Florida Panthers were blanked by the Ottawa Senators 1-0 on Monday night at BB&T Center. The biggest thing that might have been noticed was the lack of people at the arena as it was the lowest attended home game in Florida Panthers franchise history at 7,311. The previous low was 10,063 in 2007 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
     The defeat matched the Panthers start from 2007-08 in which they lost their first three games, however Florida(0-2-1) chalked up one point after losing in overtime during their opening game at Tampa Bay.
     There was only one goal in this contest and Ottawa(2-1-0) was able to get it in the second period. Clarke MacArthur carried the puck through the slot area following a short pass by Kyle Turris, went around Erik Gudbranson and put a backhand shot by Roberto Luongo at 15:34.
