Overview
- Florida erased 1-, 3- and 2-goal deficits and never led until the final seconds of overtime.
- Sam Bennett ended it with the OT winner in the closing moments, reported as either 3.2 seconds or four seconds remaining.
- Anton Lundell pulled the Panthers even at 6-6 with 5:42 left after Elvis Merzlikins’ failed clearance.
- Brad Marchand logged a goal with three assists, and Carter Verhaeghe scored twice to fuel the rally.
- A failed Columbus hand-pass challenge upheld a Verhaeghe tip and gave Florida a power play that produced another goal; the victory stopped a five-game home slide and a four-game overall skid.
