Flyers Lose To Panthers 2-1 For Second Straight Defeat
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Roberto Luongo made 36 saves, rookie Aaron Ekblad scored his first NHL goal and the Florida Panthers beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 on Saturday night.
Captain Willie Mitchell also scored for Florida, which has won three of four.
Ekblad, the Panthers' top pick in this year's draft, converted a slap shot from just inside the blue line, beating Philadelphia goalie Steve Mason on the short side.
Mason had 28 saves.
Vincent Lecavalier spoiled Luongo's bid for his second shutout of the season when he scored in traffic with 7.4 seconds left.
