The Florida Panthers defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1, snapping their four-game losing streak and reclaiming the top spot in the Atlantic Division with a 46-20-5 record. Sam Reinhart was instrumental in the victory, scoring his 50th goal of the season into an empty net, making him the 100th player in NHL history to reach this milestone and joining Pavel Bure as the only Panthers to do so. The Panthers, who are 33-0-3 when leading after the middle frame, were bolstered by Anthony Stolarz's 33 saves. Bobby Brink scored the Flyers' only goal in a game where they struggled, being down 3-0 with 8:40 left.
