Bjugstad, Luongo lead Panthers to 2-1 shootout win over Maple Leafs

Nick Bjugstad scored in regulation and then bagged the game-winner in round four of the shootout to give the Florida Panthers a 2-1 win over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs.

Roberto Luongo (43 saves) out-dueled his counterpart Frederik Andersen (42 saves) to pick up his fifth win of the season.

After a scoreless first period that saw the Cats out-shoot the Buds 15-7, including the game’s first eleven, Bjugstad lit the lamp with a bank shot from behind the net that went off defenseman Connor Carrick’s skate and then Andersen stick with 4:44 remaining in the second.
