Florida tops Chicago 5-4 in OT
Wednesday, January 20, 2021

(SUNRISE, FL) – Frank Vatrano scored 2:50 into overtime, and the Florida Panthers beat the winless Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 Tuesday night. Patric Hornqvist and Carter Verhaeghe each scored two goals for Florida (2-0-0). Keith Yandle had two assists. Sergei Bobrovky made 29 saves for Florida in his first start of the season, but the two-time Vezina Trophy winner was a bit rusty. The 32 year old Bobrovsky, who is in the second year of a seven-year, $70 million contract, was deemed “unfit to play” during most of training camp. He had a .900 save percentage last season, the second-worst of his career. Dominik Kubalik scored his first two goals of the year for Chicago, which has dropped its first four games of the pandemic shortened season. Patrick Kane also scored, and Phillipp Kurashev posted his first NHL goal. Kevin Lankinen sopped 23 shots in his first NHL start.
