The Panthers have allowed 26 goals in their past six games (4.5 goals per game), and that includes a shutout of the Winnipeg Jets in the middle of the 1-5 skid.

Logan O’Connor gave the Avalanche their first lead of the night, streaking in on Bobrovsky and wiring a shot over his blocker that went bar down. A Samuel Girard wrist shot from the point deflected off Dmitry Kulikov and trickled past Bobrovsky at the 8:54 mark and suddenly Florida was down by two.
