Pittsburgh Penguins at Florida Panthers
· National Hockey LeagueReinhart, Lundell score in shootout, Panthers beat Penguins 3-2
Matthew Tkachuk got a power-play goal midway through the third period for Florida, which also got a goal from Gustav Forsling.
Spencer Knight stopped 29 shots for Florida, then stopped Rickard Rakell and Sidney Crosby in the shootout. Lundell's score won it for the Panthers.
Rakell got the tying goal with 39.9 seconds left in regulation — 6-on-4, with Florida's Sam Bennett in the box for roughing — and Crosby also scored for Pittsburgh.
Tristan Jarry made 31 saves for Pittsburgh.
Panthers: Tkachuk might have been a little extra motivated on his goal. The Panthers were about to get a delayed power play late in the second period when Crosby swiped at a puck to stop play. A scrum ensued and 20 penalty minutes were handed out — 12 to Tkachuk for a minor and a misconduct.
Series tied 1-1
