The Florida Panthers defeated the Seattle Kraken 5-4 in a shootout after giving up a three-goal lead in the third period, but managed to recover. The victory came on Vinnie Hinostroza's goal, while Seattle's Matty Beniers, Jordan Eberle, and Bobby McMann scored in the final two minutes of the game to force overtime. The Panthers had led 4-1 on Noah Gregor's goal with 7 minutes left, but Seattle responded with a goal just 14 seconds apart. The loss for Seattle, which has not won since March 15, was the ninth consecutive defeat for the Panthers. Florida's coach Paul Maurice became the second in NHL history to reach 2,000 games, marking his 800th game with the team.
