Aleksander Barkov dazzles in shootout with crafty move

Reinhart also had the assist on Barkov’s equalizer.

Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who had 17 saves through regulation and overtime, made stick saves on Eeli Tolvanen and Oliver Bjorkstrand in the shootout.

Chandler Stephenson’s third goal of the season gave the Kraken (14-14-2) a 1-0 lead with 4:21 left in the opening period. Jared McCann had the secondary assist, his 100th in a Kraken uniform.

Barkov’s ninth goal of the season on a shot from the right circle tied it for Florida (18-9-2) with 1:01 left in the second period, with Reinhart notching his 20th assist.

Kraken goalie Joey Daccord finished with 32 saves.

Takeaways Panthers: Florida had been on a scoring spree, tallying 31 goals in its previous six games. The Panthers had at least three goals in each of those games, plus two games with six goals and one with seven. Their last game with just one was Nov. 25 in a 4-1 loss to Washington.

Kraken: Brandon Montour saw 22 minutes, 30 seconds of ice time against his former team, but got just one shot on goal. Montour had 37 goals and 147 points in 239 career games with the Panthers, helping them win the Stanley Cup on June 24, then signed with the Kraken as a free agent on July 1.

Key stat In addition to Daccord’s 32 saves, the Kraken blocked 18 more shots by the Panthers.

Up next Panthers visit Vancouver on Thursday; Kraken host Boston on Thursday.
