Florida Panthers vs Winnipeg Jets Box Score on Jan 25, 2022

Mason Marchment scored twice and added an assist, Carter Verhaeghe netted the go-ahead goal in the second period and the visiting Florida Panthers registered a 5-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

Florida, which leads the NHL with 63 points, finished a 3-2-0 road trip.

The Panthers also got a goal and an assist from Anton Lundell plus Sam Bennett's career-high-tying 18th goal. Sam Reinhart and Aaron Ekblad each recorded two assists.

Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky made 32 saves, improving his record to 21-4-3.

Goalie Connor Hellebuyck made 27 saves as the Jets fell to 0-3-2 in their past five games.

Winnipeg answered twice, leaving Florida with a 3-2 lead after the first period.

Florida went up 2-1 on Reinhart's no-look backhand pass from the corner to Marchment in the slot at 12:07. Connor scored 51 seconds later on a cross-ice pass from Perfetti. Connor, on the rush, finished after a backhand deke.

The final goal of the period went in off Lundell's leg, with Marchment getting the primary assist at 17:33.

Winnipeg started the second period by tying the score 3-3 on Dubois' power-play goal from the slot at 3:30. Pefetti set up the goal by skating around Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas.
