Florida Panthers' All-Star Sam Reinhart scored his league-leading 19th power-play goal of the season, tying the franchise single-season record set by Scott Mellanby and Pavel Bure. Reinhart's goal, his 36th overall in just 48 games, also extended his point streak to 12 games and contributed to the Panthers' 2-1 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins at the end of the second period, with the Penguins leading in shots on goal 24-18. The Panthers successfully killed off a four-minute penalty thanks to goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky's saves and a shorthanded rush that ended with the Panthers hitting the crossbar. Despite a roughing penalty taken by Anton Lundell, the Panthers maintained their lead, while the Penguins will start the third period with 54 seconds left on the power play.

After 2: #FlaPanthers 2, #Pens 1 — SOG: 24-18 PIT Panthers will be shorthanded for another 54 seconds when the third period starts.
END OF 2: Panthers 2, Penguins 1 54 seconds left on the PP for Pens
Horn sounds to end the second. The Panthers have a 2-1 lead. The Penguins will have 57 seconds left on the power play to start the third.
#FlaPanthers go right back to the penalty kill with 1:06 to go in the second period after Anton Lundell took a roughing penalty. Thought that looked like a two-way interaction but I guess not…
The Penguins couldn't take advantage of their four minutes of power-play time (that included 22 seconds on the 5-on-3)... but the chippiness continued after Florida went back to full strength, so Pittsburgh will finish the second back on the power play.
#FlaPanthers kill off the penalties thanks to quick and efficient clears and some otherworldly saves by Sergei Bobrovsky. Good lord was he on the case during that four-minute penalty kill.
Sam Reinhart scored his League-leading 19th power-play goal of the season, which ties the Panthers single-season record shared by Pavel Bure and Scott Mellanby. This is Florida's 48th game of the season.
Sam Bennett takes two separate penalties while the Panthers are on the penalty kill. They’ll be on a 5-on-3 for 22 seconds before needing to kill off 3:38 of PK time with 5:27 to go in the second period.
Aleksander Barkov is back and was just part of a shorthanded rush that ended up with the Panthers hitting the crossbar.
Reinhart now on pace for a casual 62-goal season, just as we all drew it up 💰 https://t.co/dnRHCOxCms

All-Star Sam Reinhart scores his league-leading 19th power-play goal (and 36th of the season in just his 48th game). It came one second into the second minor, so at least the Penguins won't have to kill off the rest of that penalty.
2-1 #FlaPanthers. That Sam Reinhart guy on the power play. That's 19 power-play goals for Reinhart this season — tying the single-season franchise record set by Scott Mellanby (1995-96) and then matched by Pavel Bure (2000-01). 36 total goals and 12-game point streak

Sam Reinhart scores a power play goal from the top of the circle, but it was exactly one second after the first half of the four-minute penalty expired. Kris Letang has been freed from the penalty box after serving 2:01 of the four-minute penalty. Unlucky break there…
