With Vegas defenseman Nic Hague in the penalty box for slashing early in the third period, and the Knights up by one goal, Florida failed to capitalize on the power play against the league’s 21st-ranked penalty kill. The Panthers came into the game with the third-best road power play.

The Florida Panthers are fighting for the top spot in the Atlantic Division with less than a month left until the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The defending Stanley Cup Champions trail the Toronto Maple Leafs by three points with a 28-18-3 record and 59 points.
