Panthers Blank Hurricanes 6-0 in Florida

The Florida Panthers defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 6-0 on Saturday, completing a two-day sweep. Spencer Knight achieved his fourth career shutout, making 20 saves, while Mackie Samoskevich scored just before the second period ended. Other goal scorers for Florida included Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Evan Rodrigues, and Adam Boqvist, marking their third consecutive win after a difficult stretch. The Hurricanes, with Spencer Martin in goal, have struggled recently, losing four of their last six games, and this marked the first time they failed to earn a point after a loss this season. Samoskevich's performance was notable as his alma mater Michigan won a football game earlier the same day; the Panthers are 5-0-0 when he scores. Carolina will host the Seattle Kraken next, while Florida travels to face the Pittsburgh Penguins.
