Panthers Get By Utah

     The Florida Panthers edged the Utah Hockey Club 2-1 in overtime at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday night. Both teams faced each other for the first time ever in Sunrise. The Arizona Coyotes moved their franchise to Utah during the offseason. 

     Brad Marchand made his debut with Florida. The Panthers have won seven straight home games. The Cats did not play a contest in the past four days. 

     Florida(44-25-3) won the game at the 4:18 mark of overtime. Marchand made a centering pass from behind the cage. Sam Bennett backhanded a shot from the lower left circle for his second tally of the contest and 25th goal of the season.
