The Florida Panthers have their first win of the season: Aaron Ekblad has pronounced himself ready for training camp

Florida defenseman Aaron Ekblad had surgery Monday and is likely done for the season, meaning the Panthers will have to continue their playoff push without one of their best players

Keith Yandle had a goal and two assists for Florida and Sam Montembeault didn’t allow a goal after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky at the start of the third period with the Panthers trailing 4-0.

Josh Brown and Dryden Hunt each scored their first NHL goal as Florida earned its second straight win since a costly six-game slide.

Aaron Ekblad and Colton Sceviour had the goals for the Panthers as Roberto Luongo made 32 saves in his second game back from a knee injury.

The goal in Florida going into a new year is the same — change the narrative and make the playoffs, something that hasn’t happened in 15 of their last 17 seasons.

Florida gave up a goal just 32 seconds into the game and trailed 2-1 with just over eight minutes gone before battling back with three straight goals before the period ended.
