The Florida Panthers opened the 2017-18 campaign with a disappointing 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena. Florida’s two NHL clubs will meet again tonight at the BB&T Center in Sunrise.

After the Panthers had the better of the early chances, Ondrej Palat got loose on a bit of a broken play and slipped the puck between Roberto Luongo’s pads to put the Lightning on the board 6:33 into first period. The assists on the goal went to Brayden Point and Victor Hedman.
