WINNIPEG \u2013 Brady and Matthew Tkachuk combined for seven points as the Florida Panthers cruised to a 5-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The loss extended Winnipeg\u2019s winless streak to six games (0-4-2), with Adam Lowry scoring the Jets\u2019 lone goal.<\/p>\n
Clay Stevenson made 19 saves as his record fell to 1-3. Winnipeg finished 0-for-2 on the power play while allowing three goals on Florida\u2019s five man advantages.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think post-game it\u2019s frustrating. We\u2019re frustrated. We expect more out of ourselves. We expect more out of the team.\u00a0 We\u2019re not delivering the results,” said Lowry.<\/p>\n
“We felt like going into the Heritage Classic, that was going to be a great spot to get us right. We didn\u2019t get it done. You want to rebound and it seems like we\u2019re picking ourselves up off the mat.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Panthers took the crowd out of the game early, scoring three times in just under three minutes to build a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Florida opened the scoring at 7:27 of the first period while Cole Koepke served a holding penalty. Carter Verhaeghe collected a loose puck behind the net and beat Stevenson with a backhand for a power-play goal.<\/p>\n
Just 1:15 later, the Panthers struck again. Niko Mikkola sent the puck toward the net from the left boards, and it deflected off Mario Ferraro\u2019s stick before slipping past Stevenson to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n
The Jets gave Florida another power play after being called for too many men on the ice at 10:02. Just 20 seconds into the man advantage, Matthew Tkachuk found Verhaeghe, whose shot worked its way through traffic and past Stevenson to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg got on the board in the second period when Lowry took advantage of a bobbled puck by Akira Schmid and appeared to score on a wraparound while shorthanded.<\/p>\n
After a brief delay, a video review confirmed the puck had crossed the goal line. It was Lowry\u2019s second goal of the season and the 13th shorthanded marker of his career, moving him past Marian Hossa into second place on the franchise\u2019s all-time list. Lowry is now tied with Thomas Steen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WINNIPEG \u2013 Brady and Matthew Tkachuk combined for seven points as the Florida Panthers cruised to a 5-1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":949242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-949241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=949241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/949242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=949241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=949241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=949241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
