Liam Ohgren<\/a> and defenseman Elias Pettersson<\/a> scored, and Leevi Merilainen<\/a> made 36 saves for the Canucks (2-6-1), who have lost six straight (0-5-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to grow and get better,\u201d Vancouver coach Manny Malhotra said. \u201cIt was a much more complete game aside from the last 10 minutes. I thought we did a better job weathering the storm than we expected. We capitalized on a couple of opportunities early. Again, not enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vancouver took a 1-0 lead at 7:23 of the first period on its first shot of the game after Florida failed to clear the puck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Linus Karlsson<\/a> got it at the top of the zone and fed it through traffic to a wide-open Ohgren near the right face-off circle, and he scored through the five-hole with a skipping shot from above the hash marks.<\/p>\n

Pettersson made it 2-0 at 17:06 during 4-on-4 play. Filip Chytil<\/a>, in his season debut after sustaining a shoulder injury in the preseason, sent a pass from below the goal line to Pettersson in the low slot, where he snapped a shot past Schmid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we battled really hard tonight,\u201d Pettersson said. \u201cI don\u2019t think we get the bounces right now, but I thought we played well and battled really hard for 60 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Panthers finally scored on their 32nd shot of the game at 11:11 of the third, Tkachuk making it 2-1 with a wrist shot from above the right circle off an Aaron Ekblad<\/a> pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy to be a part of it tonight,\u201d Ekblad said. \u201cWe needed that point, those points. We always have that resilience in us, and it\u2019s the culture we have built here. I felt very confident we were going to come back in that game and we obviously controlled a lot of the play. Once we got pucks through and got them in, we found a way to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liam Ohgren and defenseman Elias Pettersson scored, and Leevi Merilainen made 36 saves for the Canucks (2-6-1), who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":884127,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-884126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=884126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/884126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/884127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=884126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=884126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=884126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
