It was a tenuous first 28 minutes for the Florida Panthers and their fans. Although dominating in shots, the Cats were down 2-0 to the lowly Buffalo Sabres in a must-win game as the playoff push continues.
Then Brandon Pirri, just returning after being out 2 weeks with a shoulder injury, provided the lightning in a bottle the Panthers needed to come storming back to a 5-3 victory. His two quick goals in the second period tied the game and provided the momentum needed for Florida to seal the deal. Only 1:23 separated the tallies.
