Anton Lulndel and Sam Reinhart each scored two goals as the visiting Florida Panthers beat the Atlantic Division-rival Boston Bruins 4-3 on Monday.
The linemates each scored once during a 3:20 span in the second period to break a 2-2 tie and lift the Panthers, who had been on a two-game skid since handing the Bruins a season-opening loss last Tuesday in Sunrise, Fla.
Florida, which was playing its second straight game without Matthew Tkachuk (illness), got a 24-save effort from Sergei Bobrovsky.
The Bruins clawed back within a goal at the 14:07 mark when Lohrei slipped down from the left point to the circle and beat Bobrovsky with a wrister.
Bobrovsky stopped Pavel Zacha on a break-in with 13:16 remaining before coming up with multiple stops on a Boston power play inside the 9:00 mark and with Swayman pulled in the final two minutes.
The Bruins’ fourth line struck for the opening goal only 4:53 in, as Kastelic received Lohrei’s pass in the left circle and spun for a shot that Beecher deflected out of a net-mouth scramble through Bobrovsky’s five-hole.
At 6:37, Lundell capitalized on a turnover at the opposite blue line and rushed to tuck the puck between Swayman’s skate and the post for a game-tying, 4-on-4 goal.
