Denis Malgin picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the season.

The diminutive 20-year-old beat Henrik Lundqvist with 1:09 remaining to give the Florida Panthers a 5-4 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

After struggling to find the back of the net on Monday night in Newark, the Panthers scored three times on six shots in the opening period.

Aleksander Barkov got the game’s first goal at 5:50, deflecting a Jonathan Huberdeau shot that first hit Brendan Smith’s skate over Lundqvist shoulder with the Cats on a power play.
