Sam Reinhart snapped a three-game goal drought and the Florida Panthers beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Tuesday night

Carter Verhaeghe had a goal and an assist to lead the Florida Panthers to a road win against the Anaheim Ducks, beating them for the second time in four days.

Ducks: Trevor Zegras returned to the lineup after missing 22 games because of surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Zegras was injured late in the first period against Vegas on Dec. 4. Zegras was the left wing and paired on the second line with Leo Carlsson and Alex Killorn.

Carter Verhaeghe had a goal and an assist as the Florida Panthers opened a four-game western road trip with a 5-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.

Mackie Samoskevich and Tomas Nosek each had two assists, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 28 saves. Bobrovsky is 5-0 record with a 2.36 goals-against average and .922 save percentage against the Ducks ...

“I’m playing with my food here a little bit,” the Florida Panthers’ veteran coach said.

With the Panthers earning nine seconds of a 5-on-3 power play early in the third period, Aleksander Barkov made the most out of that limited time by winning a faceoff draw in the offensive zone, going to the net and scoring to make it 2-0 at 4:43.

Doughty plays about 24 minutes in his season debut but the Kings fall, 3-0, and have lost seven of their past nine games, scoring just 15 goals in that stretch.

Now, with the lines taking on more of a traditional look, Maurice decided to keep Samoskevich in the top six, moving him to the left side and slotting Matthew Tkachuk back on Bennett’s right, where he’s spent much of his tree seasons in Florida.

Bennett’s goal 4:55 into regulation came when he took a feed from Tkachuk across the goal crease and sent a wrist shot high as Kings goaltender Dary Kuemper was sprawled down on the ice.
