Major Altercation Occurs Involving Star Players And Florida Panthers Fans After They Throw Trash At Players

The game ended up being quite high-scoring as it ended up being a 5-4 contest that took until overtime to be settled. It was also Radko Gudas' return game and both teams were in a Gudas-style mood.

The first period ended 2-1 for Florida as the Panthers scored the first two goals, one power play the other shorthanded, and Alex Killorn scored his first goal of the night to make it close.

In the second Henrique evened the game up, scoring the second shorthanded goal of the game but this one for the Ducks. Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett, scoring his second of the game, put the Panthers back ahead by two to 4-2. Jakob Silfverberg scored late for the Ducks again to keep the score within one.

Troy Terry scored early in the third to tie it up 4-4, no other goals were scored until overtime.

There were 15 penalties in the game, including Bennett and Killorn getting matching minors late in the second one for cross-checking the other for interference. There was also another altercation midway in the third as Bennett, Matthew Tkachuk, Frank Vatrano, and Mason McTavish all got two minutes each for roughing.

Killorn scored a minute into overtime as Tkachuk decided not to cover his player from the Ducks' end, and it was a 3 on 2. After a big save from Anthony Stolarz on the original shot, with a little cycle Killorn scored.

There was some controversy after though as Killorn and Vatrano got into it with some fans in the stands.

According to this account, they had a reason to do so.

Vatrano may be hearing from the league for flipping the bird to some fans in the stands, but otherwise, it seemed warranted for the ducks to be so upset.
