Sam Reinhart of the Florida Panthers has set a new team record by scoring a shorthanded goal in his eighth consecutive game, surpassing Pavel Bure's previous record. Despite Reinhart's achievement, the Panthers suffered a 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings, ending their 10-game winning streak against them. Goalie Alex Lyon made 32 saves in the game. Reinhart, who also reached his 500th NHL point, is in the final year of a contract with an average annual value of $6.5 million and is a pending unrestricted free agent. Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating in the loss, though he refrained from commenting directly on it. Reinhart's performance and milestone were acknowledged by his teammates and coaches, who praised his work ethic and impact on the team.
Sam Reinhart is as good as anyone else I’ve seen at identifying holes and absolutely bursting through them. He got close to scoring after jetting into the slot off of a feed from Lundell, but Fluery was able to jam him on his shot attempt from the side of the net.
