CHICAGO– A spirited Florida Panthers team under the direction of new coach Tommy Rowe dropped a 2-1 shooout loss to the Chicago Black Hawks Tuesday night at United Center.
Jagr gets sixth point in six games
Jaromir Jagr scored a power play goal from the crease early in the third, the only of his three shots and the Panthers 39 shots to find its way past Chicago goalie Corey Crawford. It was jagr’s 4th goal of the season and the 753rd of his career. He now has 12 points on the season and recorded his 1880th career point in his 1652nd career NHL game. Jagr needs 7 points to tie Mark Messier as the NHL’s second all-time leading scorer. In his next game he will break a tie with Mark Reechi to become fourth all-time in games played.
Encouraging play in defensive zone
Overall the Panthers played a more cohesive game than they have in weeks. In particular Aaron Ekblad and Aleksander Barkov played their best games of the season provding hope that two of Florida’s key pieces can come together and lead the Panthers on a good run. Ekblad notched his first assist of the season to go with six goals, while Jonathon Marchessault collected his eighth assist on the Jagr goall to extend his team leading point total to 18. Nik Bjugstad skated with confidence and seems poised to get some points in the near future and may earn some power play time. Teamed with the tiny Denis Malgin on Florida’s third line, Bjugstad looked more imposing than usual.
Richard Panik staked Chicago to a 1-0 lead in the first period when he found a seam in the Panthers defense then wrapped up the victory with a goal in the shootout.
