Goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky blocked 27 pucks and the Florida Panthers overcame center Aleksander Barkov’s loss to go undefeated at home, following a 6-1 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
Jonathan Huberdeau and Carter Verhaeghe each scored one goal, Ryan Lomberg collected his first goal of the season and Patric Hornqvist contributed a goal and an assist.
Aaron Ekblad and Frank Vatrano also found the back of the net for the Panthers.
Goalkeeper Ilya Sorokin allowed four goals on 17 shots in the first period in goal for the Islanders, and was substituted before the second period by Semyon Varlamov. He blocked 17 shots.
Kyle Palmieri netted the Islanders’ goal, which ended a 13-game road trip.
The Panthers, who are 8-0-0 at home, ended a four-game winless streak, but it could have been costly.
Barkov was involved in a knee-to-knee collision with Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield with 18:13 left in the second period. Barkov remained on the ice for several minutes before exiting the ice without being able to put weight on his left knee.
He did not return and the Panthers limited themselves to saying that he suffered a lower body injury.
Mayfield received a major penalty of five minutes and game misconduct. In addition to Mayfield, Matt Martin and Palmieri also received party misconduct.
After 13 games that took them across four time zones and 12 cities – including twice at Sunrise – the Islanders headed to a new destination: home.
On Friday night, the Islanders will play their first game at their new home, UBS Arena, against the Calgary Flames.
