SUNRISE (CBSMiami/AP) — A homestand that hung in the balance ended in a familiar, frustrating fashion for the Florida Panthers.
The visiting Colorado Avalanche came from behind and never looked back.
Nathan MacKinnon and Alexander Kerfoot scored 41 seconds apart in the second period and Colorado beat the Panthers 7-3 on Saturday night to snap a four-game skid.
Colin Wilson, Erik Johnson and Mikko Rantanen also had goals for the Avalanche. Matt Nieto and Carl Soderberg both scored into an empty net late in the third, and Semyon Varlamov stopped 39 shots.
Colorado mustered only seven goals during its losing streak but equaled that total in this game.
