   The first period was completely scoreless... In the middle frame, it appeared that the Penguins scored - Rickard Rakell scored on the power play in the second period but the Panthers challenged it due to a high stick before the goal. Lars Eller played the puck with a high stick.


   Two goals being just 34 seconds apart, both Matthew Tkachuk and Jonah Gadjovich scored to give Florida a 2-0 lead. Tkachuk scored from the left face-off circle with a wrist shot off a pass from Evan Rodrigues... Gadjovich redirected a shot by Brandon Montour. Aaron Ekblad pushed it 3-0 on the power play with his third goal of the season. Ekblad struck from the right circle with a wrist shot. Getting the Panthers a 4-0 lead, Anton Lundell redirected Tkachuk's pass from the left post. Bryan Rust scored the first goal for Pittsburgh after he deflected a spinning wrist shot coming through traffic by Jake Guentzel.


   Anton Lundell extended the Panthers' lead to 5-1 in the third period. Lundell's shot burst high into the air off Marcus Pettersson's skate, and then landed behind Tristan Jarry and got in off his skate. At 13:53 of the final frame, John Ludvig struck his first NHL goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Ludvig scored from the right circle with a wrist shot... the score remained 5-2 through the remainder of the game.




Sidney Crosby on the Penguins' 5-2 loss against the Florida Panthers: "It's a big shift in momentum. That happens in games sometimes. You got to get by that and find a way to get it back," - "Obviously, it's not a big deal. You get one disallowed and then they score two... That's probably not what you're looking for but like I said, there's a lot of time left to get back in the game and we weren't able to do that."


Tristan Jarry on the Penguins' 5-2 loss: "Obviously, it's tough. A couple of those haven't gone our way and I think we just need to keep building momentum when things don't go our way. I think that's been a tough part of the year and then obviously with all the chances against and the grade A looks, it's always tough," - "We are good players. That's something that we've talked about this year and I think we just have to play up to our standards. I think we haven't done so yet and I think when we do, we have some really good games. We're tough to play against, we put pucks on net, we're driving the net, and we score goals. I think we just have to do more of that."
