Panthers Rally Past Kraken 3-2 After Tkachuk Gets First Goal of Season

Nick Cousins scores the decisive goal with less than 6 minutes left, fronting a comeback from a 2-0 deficit with additional goals from Gustav Forsling and Matthew Tkachuk.

Matthew Tkachuk scored his first goal of the season, breaking the longest start-of-season goal scoring drought of his career. He had previously never needed more than four games to score his first goal in any of his previous seven NHL seasons.
The go-ahead goal was scored by Nick Cousins with 5:52 left. It was his first goal of the season, shot into an open net after Kraken goalie Joey Daccord went to retrieve a puck that took an odd bounce.
Gustav Forsling also scored, contributing to the Panthers' comeback. His goal was a power-play goal supported by Anton Lundell.
Kraken goals were scored by Jared McCann and Eeli Tolvanen. McCann's was a breakaway goal 7:58 into the first period, and Tolvanen deflected Jaden Schwartz's shot 7:34 into the second.
In addition to the comeback win, the Panthers are expecting the return of injured defensemen Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour to practice, with their return timeline moved up from mid-December to late November.
