Second-Period Surge
Brady Tkachuk scored three times in the second period for a natural hat trick, becoming the ninth Panthers player with three goals in one period. He finished with four points in that frame after Matthew Tkachuk assisted on each of those goals plus one more on a Carter Verhaeghe tally, marking the first four-assist period in franchise history. Matthew Tkachuk also extended his points streak to six games.
Power-Play Dominance and Records
Sam Reinhart scored twice, including a power-play goal that gave him a franchise-record 86 career power-play goals, while adding an assist to extend his point streak against Columbus to 12 games. Verhaeghe added two goals of his own. Florida capitalized on multiple power-play chances after a major penalty left Columbus short-handed for five minutes.
Team Effort and Road Result
Seth Jones recorded four assists for the Blue Jackets, who scored three times but fell for the third time in four games. Akira Schmid stopped 24 shots in net for Florida. The Panthers improved to 11-2-0 against Columbus since the start of the 2022-23 season after overcoming an early one-goal deficit.
